The Detroit Red Wings need a win to get a game above a .500 record. As a team, the Red Wings are putting up 2.3 goals a game and they are scoring on 14.3 percent of their power plays. On the defensive end, they are giving up 2.5 goals a game and they are killing off 81.8 percent of their penalties. The offense is led by Bobby Ryan with four goals, while Filip Zadina has two helpers.

The Chicago Blackhawks have not had a good start to the season and have posted an 0-3-1 record. As a team, the Blackhawks are putting up 2.3 goals a game and they are scoring on 41.7 percent of their power plays. The offense is led by Alex DeBrincat with two goals, while Duncan Keith has four helpers. On the defensive end, they are giving up five goals a game and they are killing off 66.7 percent of their penalties.

Both teams have struggled to start the season, pretty much as expected. Scoring has been a problem for both teams as they have both put up just nine goals in four games. O the defensive end, it is another story. Detroit has allowed just 10 goals in their four games while Chicago has given up 20 goals, five in each of their four games on the year. Detroit has been playing a little better and that is the play in this one.

Play on Detroit.
