Red Wings vs. Stars Prediction and Odds: Expect Goals When Detroit Meets Dallas

Nobody expected the Detroit Red Wings to do much of anything this NHL season, but they've looked impressive through the first month of the season. They hold an 8-7-2 record ahead of tonight's game against the Dallas Stars.

The Stars are 5-6-2 through their first 13 games, but are coming off a 5-2 win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.

Red Wings vs. Stars Prediction and Pick

The Red Wings will regress to where their true record should probably stand, but in the mean time, they're going to score some goals. They rank in the top half of the NHL in goals per 60 minutes and shooting percentage. They're also bad in their own end, allowing the second most high danger scoring chances at 13.78 per 60 minutes of play.

I've had success betting the OVER in Red Wings games, so I'm going to back to the well with that tonight.

Pick: OVER 5.5
