The Detroit Red Wings (24-21-5) will face the Edmonton Oilers (32-15-3) for the second time this season when they meet on Thursday, January 30 at 9:00 PM ET at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta. The Oilers are favored with a puck line at -1.5 (-110 at MyBookie).

Detroit Red Wings Betting Preview

The Red Wings have found success in their last three games, winning by two or more goals in each battle. Their most recent victory was a 5-2 performance over the Los Angeles Kings.

Detroit was down 2-1 at the end of the first period, but went on to score more goals without an answer from the Kings. Marco Kasper led with two goals and an assist, while Lucas Raymond added a goal and had three assists.

Both teams shot about the same amount of times and had similar hits recorded. The Kings had six penalty minutes as opposed to the Red Wings having just two. The Kings had slightly more faceoffs won, but it did not impact the game negatively for the Red Wings.

The Red Wings are piecing together 2.84 goals and 26.4 shot attempts per game. Their defense has allowed teams to 3.12 goals and 29.0 shot attempts per matchup, which shows a slightly negative correlation between goals.

Edmonton Oilers Betting Preview

The Oilers are 3-2 over their last five games and are currently on a three-game win streak. Their latest triumph was a 4-2 outing over the Seattle Kraken.

Connor McDavid returned from his suspension and helped lead their offense with a goal scored in the second period. They were down 2-1 after the first period, but was able to continue adding goals to seal the win.

Edmonton was a little heavier in penalty minutes, with eight compared to the Kraken’s two. They also allowed the Kraken to have four power play opportunities, but they did not score in those situations. Other than that, both teams shot about the same and had roughly the same amount of hits.

The Oilers have compiled 3.32 goals and are taking 31.9 shots per matchup. Their defense has been holding opponents to 2.70 goals and 26.5 shots per battle. This spread is slightly more appealing than what the Red Wings are putting out.
