The set-up: The 28-39-14 New Jersey Devils and the 32-36-13 Detroit Red Wings cap disappointing seasons late this afternoon in the final game for the Red Wings in Joe Louis Arena. New Jersey looks to avoid ending the season with a three-game losing streak after dropping a 4-2 decision to the New York Islanders on Saturday in its home finale. The Devils will finish last in the Eastern Conference, as they failed to qualify for the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season. The Red Wings have lost five of their last six contests, after dropping a 3-2 overtime decision to visiting Montreal on Saturday, and have had their 25-year playoff streak snapped in the 2016-17 season.

New Jersey: While the Devils might seem like an odd choice to close out the Detroit rink, there is some history between the teams. The Devils swept the Wings in the 1995 Stanley Cup final, Detroit's first appearance in the Cup final since 1966. Also, when Joe Louis Arena opened in 1979, the Devils -- in their previous life as the Colorado Rockies -- were the second visiting team to win a game in the arena when they toppled the Wings 5-3 on Dec. 31, 1979, with Don Cherry behind the bench and goalie Hardy Astrom earning the win.

Detroit: Henrik Zetterberg figures to have mixed emotions Sunday as he skates in his 1,000th career game when the Detroit Red Wings and will say farewell to Joe Louis Arena. The captain leads Detroit in scoring with 66 points and will become the 12th Swedish player to reach the 1,000 career game milestone in the NHL. The team will honor Zetterberg's achievement during a pregame ceremony that undoubtedly will also pay homage to Joe Louis Arena

The pick: The Red Wings won four Stanley Cups while calling "The Joe" home. Nothing at stake in this one and with New Jersey allowing 2.93 GPG (25th) and Detroit allowing 3.00 GPG (26th), the Over is a 10* play.
