Devils vs Red Wings Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Red Wings to take down the Devils at home. With the moneyline currently at +156, I’m placing my bet on the Red Wings straight-up.

Our projections have the Red Wings pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Red Wings, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
