Anaheim vs. Detroit: NHL Match Prediction
On November 16, Anaheim will continue its long home series, where it continues to show disastrous results. In the upcoming match, the Ducks will meet Detroit, which has also not shown the best results this season. Our experts, in turn, have prepared a forecast in which they will help you decide on bets

Command Analysis

Anaheim Ducks

Current form
Anaheim has been showing terrible results this season, and even at home they are not helping the club to achieve success. Due to the huge number of lost points, the team has already dropped to the last line in the Western Conference table, having only 12 points. The club main problem continues to be its very low offensive performance, scoring an average of only two goals per game, which is a terrible indicator for the NHL. With such a game, the Ducks, naturally, are not able to compete with most opponents and constantly suffer crushing defeats.
The Ducks have been playing at home for a long time and started a series with three defeats in a row, which was interrupted in the match with Columbus. Kronik charges were finally able to show an effective game in attack, thanks to which they were able to win with a score of 4:2. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, since many distinguished themselves with effective actions. As expected, Anaheim was unable to consolidate the success, and in the match with Vegas they had to suffer another defeat (2:3). Despite another defeat, it is worth praising goalkeeper Dostal, without whose efforts the match would have ended in a rout.
Disqualifications and injuries
It is worth noting that Anaheim laser tag is replenished from match to match. Susanek, Feiler and Fabbri will definitely not be able to play in the upcoming match, and MacTavish is also questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Anaheim scores 2.2 goals per game.
The club very low performance prevents it from starting to earn points consistently.
- The Ducks allowed 12 goals while shorthanded.
The team also shows very weak play in the minority and consistently allows opponents to realize their numerical advantage.

Detroit Red Wings

Current form
It seemed that Detroit, after some minor changes in the roster, would be able to confidently start the regular championship, as the team showed good results last season and fought for the playoffs until the very end. But this year, the Red Wings are showing a very weak game and often cannot even cope with opponents of their level, which is why the team occupies only 13th place in the Eastern Conference table. Still, it is worth considering that the team has every chance to rise much higher if they start earning points consistently, as the situation is far from critical and the club is only three points away from seventh place.
It seemed that the "wings" began to come to their senses, as they were able to win two victories in a row over "Buffalo" (2:1) and "Chicago" (4:1). However, after that, a series of failures followed again. The team was unable to give a worthy rebuff to "Toronto" and "Rangers", suffering defeats with a score of 1:3 and 0:4, respectively. Once again, the reason for the loss of points was low efficiency, which has been a problem throughout the season. Nevertheless, "Detroit" was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans, with great difficulty snatching a victory from "Pittsburgh" in overtime (3:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Detroit only has problems with the goaltending line. Both goalies Lyon and Campbell remain in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Detroit is allowing an average of three goals per game.
The Red Wings, in addition to their scoring problems, also lack a solid defensive play.
- Krylia converted 25% of their power play attempts
Often, a team realizes its attacking potential when playing with a numerical advantage.
Trends
Goal in each period bet - yes
In five out of six head-to-head matches, the teams scored a goal in each period
1.50Bet 2nd period: total under 1.5 goals
In four out of five head-to-head matches, the teams failed to score more than one goal in the second period.
2.44Tip and bets
Despite all the problems, Detroit is a clear favorite in the upcoming match, for several reasons. Oddly enough, the Red Wings have been much better on the road this season, where they often earn points, especially in matches with the league outsiders. Anaheim, in turn, does not receive much of an advantage at home. Both in terms of roster and play in general, the Wings look much better, so we suggest not taking risks and betting in their favor.
Our prediction is Detroit win at 2.10
Bet on total
You definitely shouldn't expect a lot of goals scored in the upcoming match. Both teams have serious problems with offensive efficiency and remain among the worst in the entire league.
Forecast - total under six goals for 1.82
Bet on the outcome of the first period
In the first period, Detroit has every chance to earn an advantage, as it is superior in class to its opponent, due to which, from the very start of the match, it will try to create pressure on Anaheim, for which the Ducks may again be unprepared.
Prediction - Detroit win in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.69
