Golden Knights vs Red Wings Prediction and Picks
Vegas Golden Knights vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction and Pick - ExpertPicks
Mitch Marner has set up a goal in 10 straight games, and the Vegas attack still runs through him in Detroit.
The Vegas Golden Knights keep their road trip going at Little Caesars Arena tonight, and the player markets carry this Golden Knights vs Red Wings prediction against the Detroit Red Wings ahead of the 7 p.m. ET puck drop.
Marner is the first name on my card. He has 16 assists in 15 games, and at -120 I'll back him to add one more against a Detroit team that has allowed 30 goals in its last 10.
Rasmus Andersson gives me the shots bet. The Vegas defenceman has two or more shots on goal in 12 of 17 games and four of his last five, and he's playing more than 19 minutes a night.
Mark Stone has scored in eight of 17 games, and four of his 10 goals have come on the power play. Daniil Tarasov's .927 save percentage is the one thing that cools this, but Stone has found the net in two of his last three games, and +195 is a price I like.
Key Stats and Trends
- Vegas are 4-2-2 on the road this season.
- Marner and Jack Eichel have combined for 31 assists.
- Stone leads the Golden Knights with 10 goals.
- Andersson has 31 shots on goal in 17 games.
Head to Head
Vegas won both meetings in 2025-26, 1-0 at home in November and 4-3 in overtime in Detroit in March. Tonight is the first of two meetings this season.
The last meeting was March 4, 2026, at Little Caesars Arena. Detroit led 3-1 after the first period, but Ivan Barbashev and Marner scored in the third, and Tomas Hertl won it on the power play 2.11 into overtime.
Golden Knights Form
Vegas are 5-3-2 in their last 10, and the power play has carried them through some ordinary goaltending. They've scored on 8 of 23 chances in that span, while Adin Hill (.895) and Carter Hart (.893) are both below .900 this season.
Monday in Boston went to a shootout after Stone's power-play goal and Trevor Connelly's third-period equalizer wiped out a 2-0 deficit, with Marner assisting on both. In Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Vegas trailed 2-1 in the third before Connelly tied it and Hertl scored the winner on the power play with 35 seconds left.
There's no new injury news, with Parker Wotherspoon and Victor Olofsson still out, according to ESPN's injury report, so the lineup should look the same. Hill has started three of the last four and is expected to get the net.
Red Wings Form
Detroit are 6-3-1 in their last 10 after a 1-3-2 start, with 19 goals in their last five games. Alex DeBrincat and Lucas Raymond share the team lead with 16 points each.
Monday's 5-3 win in Florida turned early in the third, when Justin Faulk scored on the power play and Michael Brandsegg-Nygård added another 45 seconds later. Tuesday in Tampa was a different story, with Brayden Point scoring twice in the first and Detroit trailing 3-0 before a late push fell short in a 4-2 loss.
John Gibson is day to day with a lower-body injury after leaving Tuesday's game, per ESPN, and that's the new worry. Tarasov is expected to start, and his numbers are far better than Gibson's .860.
Verdict
Vegas have the better playmaker and the hotter power play, so my Golden Knights vs Red Wings picks back Marner to set one up, Andersson to keep shooting and Stone to score.
