Vegas Golden Knights at Detroit Red Wings Preview & Picks

Detroit are tipped to win this battle of playoff-chasing teams.

The Red Wings are on an inconsistent run, but this Golden Knights team has been piling up losses on the road in recent weeks.

  • Vegas Golden Knights are 2-6 in their last 8 road games
  • Detroit Red Wings are 4-1 in the previous 5 meetings at home
  • The Under cashed in the previous meeting this season

Head To Head

  • The all-time series is tied 7-7
  • Vegas Golden Knights won 1-0 when the two teams last met on November 4

Vegas Golden Knights Form

Vegas head to the ‘Motor City’ on a disappointing run of form, having now lost seven of their previous 10 games.

The Golden Knight’s rough run began on the road as they were blown out 7-1 by Ottawa, before suffering a 3-2 overtime defeat to Montreal.

Their losing skid then reached five games as they lost 5-4 to Dallas and 3-2 to Seattle at home, before heading to Anaheim for a 4-3 defeat.

Vegas finally snapped their skid with a 5-2 win at home to Vancouver, and then backed that up with a couple of victories over Los Angeles, winning 4-1 at home and 6-4 on the road.

The Golden Knights failed to maintain that momentum though, losing 3-2 in Washington and 5-0 at Pittsburgh.

Detroit Red Wings Form

Detroit also enter this matchup on an underwhelming run, having dropped six of their previous 10 games.

The Red Wings enjoyed a three-game win streak in the second half of January, but struggled to regain that consistency after the 4-3 overtime loss in Minnesota.

They won 5-1 in Edmonton, only to then return home and lose 3-1 to Los Angeles, 4-3 to Washington and 5-0 to Colorado.

Detroit avenged that loss to the Avalanche with a 2-0 victory on the road, only to then suffer a 4-1 defeat in Utah.

The Red Wings then sandwiched a 5-2 road defeat at Carolina with a 2-1 overtime victory in Ottawa and a 4-2 success at Nashville.

Verdict

Detroit have struggled for consistency in recent weeks, but we are leaning towards them in this one.

Vegas have been suffering from severe ‘travel sickness’ in recent weeks, and the Red Wings can take advantage.
