Devils vs Red Wings Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Red Wings to pick up on a win over the Devils at home. With the moneyline sitting at +115, I’ll be locking in a 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.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 7 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
