Utah Hockey Club Betting Preview

The Hockey Club are coming off a 3-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils, which ended their three-game win streak. They have gone 3-2 over their last five games, but now must attempt to get back on track.

Utah tied the game at one with a goal in the second period, but would later allow two goals in the third period to put this game out of reach. Mikhail Sergachev scored the only goal for Utah, which marked his 11th on the season.

The Devils had more shot attempts (29) and faceoffs (30, 54.5 percent) to give them an edge. Both teams had two power play opportunities, but failed to convert any. Utah will need to capitalize on these opportunities moving forward.

The Hockey Club is averaging 2.80 goals and are taking 28.3 per game. On defense they are allowing 2.93 goals and 27.9 shots from opponents per matchup. This ratio is slightly negative and will likely play a role in this upcoming game.

Detroit Red Wings Betting Preview

The Red Wings have lost their last three games and are 2-3 overall in their previous five. Their most recent defeat was a 2-1 performance against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Detroit was down 2-0 heading into the third period but eventually they were able to add a goal to make it more respectable. Elmer Soderblom landed the only goal for the Red Wings, but they cannot afford to wait until the third period to get the offense going.

Carolina fired off 30 shots and had 23 hits on Detroit. The Red Wings only took 25 shot attempts but were a little more aggressive with 33 hits. They also did not do well with faceoffs, as their percentage was at 39.6 against the Hurricanes.

The Red Wings are averaging 2.85 goals and are shooting off 27.2 attempts at the goal. Their defense is allowing the opposition to get 3.16 goals a game and fire off 29.2 shots per matchup. This negative ratio is also troublesome, but might not be as bad against another struggling team.
