The Detroit Red Wings will seek to build on a 5-4 overtime victory at Washington on Sunday, a result that put an end to their three-game losing streak. They've conceded 17 goals in their last four games and are just 2-6 in their last eight after scoring five goals or more in their previous game.

I think Detroit will come up short here against a Ducks team aiming to bounce back from a 3-2 shootout loss at home to San Jose. The Ducks are 10-4 in their last 14 vs. a team with a losing record and their netminder John Gibson is a solid 9-2-2 with a 2.20 goals-against average and a .927 SP in his last 13 contests.

Detroit is just 1-5-1 in its last seven home contests and the Ducks are 6-2 in the last eight meetings.

My selection is an 8* play on Anaheim Ducks.
