Detroit vs Utah

Dylan Larkin, confirmed to be in Detroit’s active lineup, will look to break the Red Wings out of their two-game skid as they collide with a Utah squad fresh off an overtime triumph. With one of Detroit’s key forwards sidelined by a recent upper-body setback and Utah mostly healthy, both teams appear primed for a high-scoring night, especially given Detroit’s track record of lighting the lamp—and occasionally leaving the backdoor open—against Western-based opponents. Pair that history with the Red Wings’ drive to rally back into winning form, and the result should be ample offensive drama well above the 6.5 total. Big thrills await at the net.

Robby Fabbri’s continued absence puts extra pressure on the Detroit Red Wings, who are looking to stop a two-game losing skid against a surging Utah squad riding three consecutive wins. Dylan Larkin remains a scoring catalyst for Detroit, but the team will need its depth to step up in Fabbri’s place if they hope to repeat past successes at home against Western Conference foes. Utah, whose roster appears largely healthy, aims to continue its recent run of strong play, yet Detroit’s historical dominance over Western-based challengers on its own ice points to a potential turnaround for the Red Wings. Puckline bettors might lean on the home team, offering a solid overall wager graded at B for both reliability and rewarding returns.
