The Detroit Red Wings look to rebound from a Saturday night loss at home as they head to Ohio to take on the Columbus Blue Jackets. Here are our best Red Wings-Blue Jackets NHL picks based on the top odds.
The Red Wings started the season as one of the hottest teams in the league, but their recent stretch includes just four wins in 11 games. They've also dropped three straight, allowing 13 goals while scoring just seven times. To make matters worse, star forward Tyler Bertuzzi just had surgery and will miss at least the next six weeks.
Across the ice, the cannon has been rather silent at Nationwide Arena as the Blue Jackets have struggled to score with regularity. In net, only the San Jose Sharks have a worse five-on-five save percentage, which may not be surprising considering two of the Blue Jackets' three netminders had hip surgery this past offseason.
Can Columbus overcome the odds and prevail against the high-flying Wings?
