Detroit vs. Vancouver: NHL Match Prediction
Canadian Vancouver will travel to Michigan on December 1, where they will play against local Detroit. The day before, the Wings were very close to winning against New Jersey, but ultimately failed to hold on to the advantage and were left without any points. The Killer Whales won in the suburbs of New York against Buffalo, showing character at the end of the match. Both teams really want to secure a place in the playoffs and need points. Who will get them? We tell you in the forecast for the match
Command Analysis
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Detroit is in 12th place in the conference standings and is gradually falling further and further behind the leaders of the East and the top eight. The Wings have earned only 22 points in 23 starts and are currently three points behind Philadelphia, which is in eighth place, with one game in hand. The team from Michigan could not please its fans with stability during November, but in the last ten days of the month they were able to earn six points in five games. Derek Lalonde charges won at home against the Islanders (2:1), but lost to Boston (1:2), and then punished the Islanders again, but this time in New York (4:2). After returning to the ice at Little Cesars Arena, the Red Wings beat Calgary in a fight (2:1, OT), and before the game against Vancouver they could not finish off New Jersey (4:5). The hosts played strongly in the opening minutes and took the lead, but then fell apart and conceded five goals.
Detroit has been doing well defensively lately, and in their last five games, the Michiganders have conceded only 11 times. On average, Dylan Larkin team concedes 3.09 goals per game this season, and the home team has some problems in the goaltending department. Alex Lyon hasn't recovered from an injury, and Cameron Talbot lacks consistency over the long haul. The veteran from Canada has blocked 91.65% of the shots and has generally looked good during the regular season.
Lucas Raymond has been the Wings' top scorer for a long time, although many expected to see other names in this role. The Swedish forward scored 23 points (7+16) in the goal+pass system. Alex DeBrincat (9+11) and Dylan Larkin (12+6) are playing a little worse so far. Much more was expected from Patrick Kane and Vladimir Tarasenko.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alex Lyon and Patrick Kane are questionable for the game against the Canadians.
Interesting trends for betting
- Detroit is allowing an average of 3.09 goals per game.
Krylia have been able to improve their defense in recent matches and have slightly improved their defensive performance.
- The Red Wings are winning 50.3% of their faceoffs.
Derek Lalonde players have started to perform a little better at the point and win the puck for their teammates more often.
Vancouver Canucks
CanadaCurrent form
Vancouver is back in the playoff zone in the West and is in seventh place in the conference standings. The Canadians have 27 points in 22 games and are not going to slow down. The club from the province of British Columbia is nine points behind the current leader Winnipeg and this cannot please the coaching staff of the guests. The Killer Whales have been playing well so far on the current road trip and so far they have earned six points out of eight possible. After victories in Ottawa (4:3) and Boston (2:0), the Canucks lost in a shootout with Pittsburgh (4:5), but the next day they celebrated success in Buffalo (4:3, OT). Rick Tocchet charges were losing to the Blades after the first period, but showed character and turned the game in their favor, squeezing out the Sabres in overtime.
In late November, the Canadians often failed in defense and conceded at least three times in five of the previous six games. Vancouver can hardly be called a very reliable team, because on average during the season, the red light behind the "killer whales" goal comes on 3.18 times per game. Kevin Lankinen is the main goalie for the visitors this season. The Finnish goalie has stopped 90.69% of shots and made two shutouts in 16 starts.
Quinn Hughes' team consistently scores their goals, especially on the road. It is on the road that the Canucks score 3.55 goals on average per game, which is slightly better than at home. The captain himself is currently the club top scorer. The young talent has scored 25 points (5+20) in the goal+pass system in the current regular season, and his other partners are far behind the leader.
Disqualifications and injuries
Thatcher Demko, Derek Forbort, Filip Hronek, JT Miller and Tucker Poolman will be out of action for their Michigan teammates.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Canucks have been receiving nearly nine minutes of penalty time in recent games.
The visitors are often sent off and therefore often concede when they are short-handed.
- Vancouver blocks 16 shots per game
The "killer whales" defense often sacrifices itself for the sake of the team goalies and often blocks many shots.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In three of Vancouver four games, there was not more than one goal scored in the first period.
2.02Bet 3rd period: Vancouver to score
The Canucks have scored in the third period in their last four games.
1.40Tip and bets
Although Detroit has been scoring points in recent games, it has not been playing confidently in this period of the season. The Wings often lack success in terms of converting chances. Vancouver plays very well on the road and has earned 18 points in 11 away games. Rick Tocchet men are in excellent shape and are ready to improve their position in the conference table. Last season, the teams exchanged away victories, but this fall the hosts do not look so strong. We suggest betting on the Canadians' victory in the match. Prediction - Van Coover wins the match for 1.75
Bet on individual total Detroit hasn't been playing well in attack this season and averages just over three goals per game. Vancouver is very strong in defense and only concedes 2.26 goals on the road. We don't think the Michigan club will be able to score more than three goals. Let bet on the individual total of the guests. We bet on Detroit individual total of less than three goals with odds of 1.63
Total Bet
Face-to-face meetings between the teams have often been productive, but now everything should be different. The opponents have not always been the 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 1.80
