This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the UNDER Oilers/Red Wings.

Both teams have played to several higher-scoring games of late. Detroit is decent offensively (averaging 3.0 GPG), but poor defensively, (conceding 3.39).

Edmonton averages 4.40 GPG, which ranks first in the NHL, but it's been sharp defensively as well, conceding just 2.80.

Edmonton is off three straight high-scoring affairs, including a 6-5 OT win at New York in its last outing. With a much tougher game at Boston on Thursday, the Oilers get caught looking ahead here.

Note as well that the Oilers have seen the total go UNDER in eight of their last 11 after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row.

Detroit is off back-to-back high-scoring victories, and it's seen the total go OVER in three straight as well. Which is significant, as note that the Wings have seen the total go UNDER in seven of their last ten after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row.

This number is a little high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
