NHL Team Stats & Key Players

Anaheim Ducks (23-7-5)

Anaheim Ducks is coming into this game with 5 straight wins and have the second most points in the league behind Chicago Blackhawks. However, Anaheim isn’t going into this game without injuryers. Defensemen Sheldon Souray is out with a torn wrist tendon and Luca Sbisa is out with a torn hand tendon. Forward Jakob Silfverberg is out with a broken right hand and goalie Viktor Fasth is out with a muscle inflammation injury. Even with these injuries I do believe the Ducks will win this game.

Detroit Red Wings (15-11-9)

Detroit Red Wings last 5 games record is 0-3-2 and the last 10 games is 4-4-2. Losing game after game isn’t helping the team get better nor is key players like captain Henrik Zetterberg out with a back injury, goldie Jimmy Howard out with a sprained knee, and Danny Dekeyser out with a shoulder injury. The only good news is Pavel Datsyuk is back after missing 7 straight games because of an concussion.

Anaheim Ducks at Detroit Red Wings Prediction

With an injury list so serious on both sides, I still can’t see the Red Wings winning this game against the Ducks. I think Anaheim will win this game 3-1. I recommend betting 2 units on the moneyline.
