Detroit vs Pittsburgh: prediction for the NHL preseason match
On October 8, Detroit and Pittsburgh face off in the NHL preseason game. What to expect from this fixture? Our answer is in the prediction below.
Command Analysis
Detroit Red Wings
USAThe Detroit Red Wings can't boast a powerful roster. Every season the Red Wings sit at the bottom of the table in their division. But in the preseason they looked decent and even won three games at the start. However, once the key players started returning to the opponents' squads, the Red Wings stopped winning. Jeff Blashill's men suffered defeats from Pittsburgh (1:5), Chicago (4:6), and Columbus (2:4). In each of these games, they conceded at least four goals.
Pittsburgh Penguins
USAThe Pittsburgh Penguins started their preseason with a defeat, however, once all the key players became available for Mike Sullivan, the Penguins started winning. They crushed Detroit at home and then got a hard-earned victory over Buffalo (5:4). The Pens come to Detroit in their optimal lineup, and we look forward to seeing them play. Pittsburgh have an amazing line of attack and prefer to play open hockey; every year they are among the main contenders for the Stanley Cup.
