This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Detroit Red Wings.

We wagered on the Wings in their last game vs. the Sabres and they'd gut out the 5-4 victory in the shootout (also had the OVER in that same game, our 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK) and we think the home side carries that winning momentum over into another favorable matchup vs. a Coyotes team which is coming off an ugly loss. The Wings outshot the Sabres 32-14 over the second and third periods and 46-32 for the game. Arizona on the other hand had its three-game win skein end in a 5-2 loss at Nashville on Tuesday. The Coyotes would allow four unanswered goals in the third period in the setback, allowing the Predators a 41-15 advantage in shots. Note that Arizona's minus-3.92 shot differential is amongst the worst in the NHL. And note that the Coyotes have given up at least one power-play goal in the past four games with the opposition going 5 for 14. And finally note that Arizona is 15-29 (-9 units) in its last 44 non-conference games, while Detroit is 36-28 (+3.9 units) in the same position. All signs point to a beatdown, lay the price with confidence on the RED WINGS.
