PPG Paints Arena will be the setting for this NHL game between the Detroit Red Wings and the host Penguins in Pittsburgh. The midwestern clash pits two hopeful playoff contenders against each other. Thursday night will prove pivotal in that Eastern Conference wild card race, as both sit at 84 points in the standings. Pittsburgh (36-20-12) will lean on their raucous home supporters to give them the lift they need in such a critical match, especially after enduring a crushing overtime loss to the Lightning on the road last time out. Detroit will have last played on Tuesday, dropping points against the Capitals in a low-scoring 2-1 loss at home. Two Alex’s will face off against each other in net in this game, as Alex Lyon will represent the goalie for the Red Wings while Alex Nedeljkovic takes the helm for the Penguins. Both are similar in statistics, with G/A average of 3.00 and 2.92 respectively.

Pittsburgh Penguins - Detroit Red Wings Key Points

  1. Pittsburgh are 15-5 SU in their last 20 home games vs Detroit
  2. Pittsburgh are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games
  3. Detroit are 1-9 SU in their last 10 road games
  4. Detroit are 2-6 SU in their last 8 games

Our Pittsburgh Penguins vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction

Pittsburgh is on a roll as of late, knocking off wins in 4 of their last 5 games, including 5 of their last 6 at home. Detroit (38-32-8) will hope for a spark from their sputtering offense, which has scored more than 3 goals just once in their last 8 games. Now thrown into a hostile environment in Pittsburgh, we think it will be difficult for the Red Wings to win. Detroit’s long stretch of successful playoff qualification ended in 2016 after 25 straight years, and the team has not returned since. Our Detroit Red Wings vs Pittsburgh Penguins prediction: Pittsburgh to win (-142) at DraftKings.
