04:00 Anaheim Ducks – Detroit Red Wings

Both teams enjoy a good season so far, as Anaheim is on 2nd position in the Western Conference, while Detroit – on 7th position in the East, but still with chances even for the first spot in the conference.

In the matter of fact, more important for my bet is, that these two teams showed really good efficiency in offense in most of their games in February, while Anaheim and Detroit are not doing so well in defense lately, probably because of the absence of some important players in that zone.

The Ducks have scored three or more goals in half of their last ten games (5-4-1), while, in the same time, they conceded at least three goals in six of those ten encounters.

The Red Wings, on the other hand, have scored three or more goals in four of their seven games since the beginning of the month (4-2-1), including six goals in the regular time of their last game in Dallas on Saturday (Dallas Stars – Detroit Red Wings 6-7 OT on 21.02.2015).

Frederick Andersen (goaltender), Sami Vatanen (defenseman) and Matt Beleskey (left wing) will miss that game for the home team, while the Red Wings are without Kyle Quincey (defenseman), Teemu Pulkkinen (right wing) and Henrik Zetterberg (left wing).

Four of the previous five games between these two teams finished with five or more goals, including their first meeting this season in Detroit (Detroit Red Wings – Anaheim Ducks 2-3 on 11.10.2014).
