Command Analysis

Detroit Red Wings

Current form
Detroit dropped to eighth place in the conference, scoring 66 points in 60 starts. The Michigan State team is approaching the leading group and is only four points away from New Jersey, which has played two more games. Krylia are showing good results at this stage of the season, and since January 20, they have been left without points only three times. At the end of February, Dylan Larkin's squad lost at home to Minnesota (3:4, OT), but was stronger than Anaheim (5:4, OT). The hosts took revenge on the Wind in Minneapolis (3:2), having won back from 0:2 after the end of the first period of the match. The Reds lost to Columbus at home (2:5), and then lost to them in an outdoor game in Ohio (3:5).
In the last seven games, the hosts have only once failed to score at least three goals in a duel. Krylia are scoring 2.93 goals per match this season and are gradually adding in terms of scoring chances. Lucas Raymond remains the best striker in the Red team. The Swedish forward scored 63 goals (22+41) and ranks 22nd in the list of the most productive hockey players in the league.
Cameron Talbo couldn't help his teammates in the outdoor match against Columbus, but he's still number one on the team. The Canadian goalkeeper has blocked 90.26% of shots this season and has not yet given Alex Lyon a chance. The latter looks pretty weak and concedes an average of 2.74 goals per match.
Disqualifications and injuries
Andrew Kopp, Mikael Rasmussen and Jack Petrie will not play against the Hurricanes.
Interesting betting trends
- Detroit concedes an average of 3.18 goals per game.
The Wings have failed to improve their defense in recent matches and have not improved their defensive performance.
- Red Wings win 50.6% of face-offs
Todd McLellan's men began to act a little better on the point and win the puck for their partners more often.

Carolina Hurricanes

Current form
Carolina is still only in fifth place in the conference, which is unlikely to suit the fans of this team. Rod Brindamore's men have 74 points to their credit after 61 meetings, but so far they occupy the second place in the Metropolitan Division, second only to the leader represented by Washington. The guests are already five points away from Toronto, which is in second position. Since the beginning of February, Jordan Staal's team has seriously slowed down and won only two victories in nine fights. In the home series of games, the Hurricanes were stronger than Buffalo (5:2), lost to Edmonton (1:3) and won with great difficulty against Calgary (2:1, OT), putting the squeeze on the opponent only in overtime.
The Hurricanes are not happy with their strong offensive play at this stage of the season and have been scoring quite a bit lately. In the last five games, they scored only ten accurate shots, while five of them were against Buffalo. Mikko Rantanen scored 70 points (27+43) in the goal+pass system this season, but only six for his new team.
Frederik Andersen has lost four matches in a row and is still far from his best form. The Dane deflected 90.67% of shots on his possessions and Petr Kochetkov appeared on the ice in the match against Calgary. The Russian looks a little more reliable than his more experienced colleague. He made 90.29% of saves and scored one shutout in 36 starts.
Disqualifications and injuries
William Carrier and Jesper Fast will not participate in the upcoming bout due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Carolina makes 32 shots on target.
The Hurricanes play powerfully offensively and spend a lot of time in someone else's zone, hitting the opponent's goal with a lot of shots.
- According to statistics, hurricanes carry out 18 power techniques
Karolina doesn't play hardball, so you rarely see a lot of strength in her performance.

1.55Tip and bets
Detroit can and should take advantage of home ice, although Todd McLellan's team failed to score a single victory on their home court during February. Krylia has an excellent attacking line and is unlikely to experience problems with the opponent's defense, which has not looked reliable lately. The Hurricanes are far from their best form and lost all four away games last month, and in regular time. It's very difficult for the Hurricanes to score goals, so the Red Wings have a good chance of two points. We offer a bet on winning the first one with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is that Detroit willwinwith an Asian handicap (0) in 2.60
Betting on an individual total
Krylia has improved in terms of implementing the moments after the arrival of the new head coach. During the current season, they are scoring 3.03 goals on their ice and have scored 15 accurate shots in the last five games. Carolina played very poorly on the road in defense in February and is unlikely to be able to contain the opponent's attack. We believe in the Red Wings forwards.
Prediction - Detroit's individual total is over 2.5 goals in 1.88
Bet on the total
Dylan Larkin's squad is pleased with its performance. Only one of the previous seven matches with the participation of the hosts did not turn out to be bright and did not give the fans of the game at least six goals. Carolina has big problems defending, but Keynes will be able to throw his couple of goals into the opponent's goal. We think that the fight will be spectacular. Let's bet on the total more.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.65
