Today's NHL Hockey Picks:

Game: Anaheim at Detroit (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Detroit -1.5 goals +130 (puckline) (risk 3 to win 3.9)

The Detroit Red Wings look to continue their quest for consecutive Stanley Cups as they conclude their series with the Anaheim Ducks at home. The series is even at three games apiece, and the winner moves on to the conference finals. These teams have met in Detroit five times this season with the Red Wings outscoring the Ducks 17-10. The Red Wings lost to the Ducks in the conference finals in '07, on the road in Anaheim, and you can be sure they want to return the favor. This has been a home-dominated series over the years with the home team prevailing to a record of 39-18-2, and the Ducks have rarely won in Detroit, where they are just 7-24-1 in the last 32 meetings in Detroit. The Red Wings have posted 18 home wins on the season by two goals or more, and two of those have been against the Ducks - with one coming in the playoffs. I look for them to bring it at home tonight and will play them on the puckline.
