Detroit vs Chicago Prediction: We Won'r Risk Choosing Our Fav

Prediction for the NHL Detroit Red Wings vs Chicago Blackhawks match, which will take place on March 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Detroit has finally sunk into despair. After a brief upswing, the Red Wings were in a total slump. They had failed their last six games, scoring only one point. In the previous two, the Red Wings fell to the Islanders (1-4) and Philadelphia (1-3). No wonder Detroit is only 13th in the Eastern Conference standings with 65 points and seventh in the Atlantic Division. As it is, their playoff chances are diminishing by the day.

If Detroit can still at least theoretically fight for a playoff spot, the situation with Chicago has been evident for a long time. The Blackhawks are downright awful, sitting in the bottom of the West and Central division with a measly 49 points. Before the last game, Chicago had four straight losses in regulation time but unexpectedly managed to defeat a struggling Ottawa, 5-0.

• Detroit has failed the last six games.
• Six of the past seven meetings ended with a TO (5.5).

We won't risk picking a favorite in the upcoming battle of outsiders. Chicago ended a woeful streak in the last matchup, but that's more of an exception and luck and Ottawa's slackness. Both teams look weak defensively, so they will hardly sharpen their playmaking skills in this matchup.
