10* UNDER Wings/Hawks (BLOWOUT)

These teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I expect those trends to end this evening. Detroit is off a 5-4 OT loss at home to the Kings, but with three whole nights off between games, I expect the visiting side to double down on the defensive end this evening. The Wings are 2-0-1 and have a big opportunity to build on their record facing the 1-2 Blackhawks. Chicago has been off for five whole days after a 5-2 win at San Jose. Chicago lost its first two games, but returns home for the first game of the season. The Wings have two decent goaltenders in Alex Nedeljkovic and Ville Husso. Petr Mrazek and Alex Stalock share duties for Chicago. They catch a break here facing this Wings' offense. These are two teams in need of a win at the start of the season and I expect this competitive atmosphere to translate into more of a defensive affair; the play is the "under!"
