Result: Win
The Carolina Hurricanes are hosting the Detroit Red Wings for both clubs regular season finale tonight. Detroit has won both of the previous meetings on the season and I think we're getting a fair price on the visitors in this spot.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Relaxed Red Wings - Detroit has won only two of its last seven games and there's been a lot of talk if the club would actually manage to secure its participation in the post-season for a 24th consecutive year. The players have seemed to crumble under the pressure but other teams results have gone the clubs way. Now with a playoff berth clinched I think the players can go out and enjoy themselves on the ice again, looking to enter the playoffs on a positive note.
2. Road Warriors - The Red Wings have won eight of the last 11 meetings in Carolina and are coming into this contest as winners in nine of their last 10 road games against a team with a losing home record.
3. X-Factor - Henrik Zetterberg is leading the Red Wings for both points and assists and is coming off a two-assists performance against the Canadiens.
Selection: This is a play on the Detroit Red Wings (*)
