Check out our Panthers vs Devils predictions for tonight’s matchup

Red Wings ML (-120)

This is the first season in years that there have been any sort of expectations for the Red Wings. Early on, they look pretty good. They are 1-1 with a narrow loss to a very good Devils team and a great win over the Lightning. If they can hold to or around their early average of 4.5 goals per game on Monday, it should be more than the Blue Jackets can keep up with.

Obviously, a 4.5 goals per game clip is not sustainable. But if a team is clicking as the Red Wings appear to be now, a solid run like that can last a week or two. The Blue Jackets lost a dud to the Flyers in their season opener, but looked great against the Rangers on Saturday. Columbus is still firmly in their rebuild and are more of a question mark game in and game out than the Red Wings are. If Detroit is going to make the playoffs this year, they have to beat teams like Columbus. Look for the Red Wings to come out with some jam in this one.
