Stars vs Red Wings Prediction

The current betting odds have the Red Wings listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Red Wings have looked good in their games this season with their 24-17-5 record overall which has them in 4th place of their division in the East, fighting for a Wild Card spot. They didn't have a great start to the season but they have looked great in their games lately as they are surging up the standings now. They have also looked better on home ice this season with their 12-7-4 home record and they have all the momentum on their side right now with a close win in their last game and going 7-2-1 in their last 10. Meanwhile, the Stars have also looked good in their games this season with their 27-13-6 record overall which has them in 3rd place of their division in the West. The Stars haven't looked as good in their games lately though as they have slipped down the standings a bit lately and they are only 5-3-2 in their last 10 games too. They have looked pretty good in their road games with their 13-5-4 road record but they did lose their last one on the road in a close game. The Stars will be looking to bounce back here but their offense hasn't been scoring many goals lately and that will be a big problem with the Red Wings getting hot now. The Red Wings have more momentum coming into this one and have been the hotter team over the last week, they have the edge in this home game as they look to get into the top 3 of their division in the East. The best way to place a bet here is on the Red Wings to win this game.

Notable Quotes


“There were some minor tweaks during the game, they were a little more aggressive than the pre-scout had suggested. But you knew they were going to work hard and compete. You always get that energy bump every time there is a new coach. It’s hard to prepare for that, you just warn the guys.” - Peter DeBoer after his team’s loss against the Islanders in their game on Sunday.


“It’s a very dangerous team. I think we played really well tonight, maybe one of the more complete games we’ve played all season. Really difficult to come off a road trip emotionally and physically. The way that we responded tonight was awesome.” - Alex Lyon after their win against the Lightning in their game on Sunday.
