Command Analysis

Detroit Red Wings

Current form
The Wings were able to improve their position in the East a little thanks to victories over Calgary (2:1, OT) and the Islanders (2:1 and 4:2) over the past five days. Detroit rose to 11th place in the conference and has 22 points after 22 games. Derek Lalonde men had a poor start this month, but are slowly gaining momentum and have won three of the previous four games. The Red Wings led throughout the match against the Flames, but conceded three minutes before the end of regulation. Lucas Raymond scored the winning goal in overtime and brought victory to his team and delighted the hockey fans who came to the arena.
Michiganders played poorly in defense, but now they have improved their reliability a little. This season, Detroit has three goals per game, while at home they are approximately equal to the club away numbers. Cameron Talbot is currently the team number one and is playing a little better than Alex Lyon. At the same time, the latter is increasingly appearing in the starting lineup and is gradually gaining form. It was Lyon who brought two victories to his club in games against the Islanders, but he was injured and did not take the ice in the match against Calgary.
Lucas Raymond remains the team leading scorer with 22 points (6+16) in the goal+pass system. Alex DeBrincat (9+10) and Dylan Larkin (12+6) have already come close to him. The hosts' captain currently holds the status of the club leading sniper with 12 accurate shots to his credit.

New Jersey Devils

Current form

The Devils conceded three goals in the opening 20 minutes and were unable to beat Jordan Binnington. Nick Hischier squad spent a lot of time in the attacking zone, but this did not bring the desired results.

In Detroit last four games, the second period hasn't been very productive.
1.45Bet 1st period: Detroit will score
Detroit has scored in the first period in its last three games.
1.70Tip and bets
Detroit is gradually coming to its senses and at least has stopped conceding in large numbers. Yes, the hosts still have problems in terms of converting chances, they can’t find their game in attack. New Jersey periodically fails its matches and cannot score goals. Dylan Larkin’s team has won three of the previous four matches and is now capable of scoring points at home against one of the best clubs in the conference. We suggest playing a bet on the Wings’ double chance. Prediction - Detroit will not lose at 1.93
Bet on individual total New Jersey hasn't been showing a consistent offensive performance in the second half of November. The Devils have only managed to score at least four accurate shots twice in the last five games. Detroit, meanwhile, has lost Alex Lyon, but Cameron Talbot often saves his teammates. We don't think the hosts will fail in defense and concede more than three times. We bet on the individual total of New Jersey under 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.70
Total Bet
Face-to-face meetings between the teams have often been productive, but now everything should be different. The opponents have not been acting their best in attack lately, both sides lack stability in terms of realizing moments. In this regard, we suggest playing a bet on the total under goals.
We take the total under six goals for 1.82
