The Detroit Red Wings have lost eight of their last nine games, but four of their last five have been tight one-goal affairs and they're 12-8 against the puckline away from home on the season.

The Winnipeg Jets will play on no rest (and third game in four nights) following a 3-2 loss at Minnesota last night while Detroit has had two full days off since a 3-2 loss to Montreal Tuesday night. The Wings are a perfect 3-0 against the puckline as an underdog when facing an opponent on no rest this season.

We can also note that the visitors are expected to get defenseman Mike Green back on the ice after missing 13 games with a lower-body injury. They're 13-8-2 with Green in the lineup. I think they'll keep this a close game.

8* play on Detroit Red Wings +1.5.
