Rent is due and I need a guarantee lock tonight
The Red Wings just got blitzed in Edmonton, where a 3-3 game entering the 3rd period ended in an 8-4 loss after the great Connor McDavid finished recording a career high 6 assists. Not much any team can do about it on a night when an all-time great goes off like that. The Red Wings, however, haven't lost back-to-back games since late December when they lost 7 out of 8. Since then, they've gone 10-5 and 5-0 following a loss. The only four teams that have beaten them in 2024 are the Oilers (twice), Hurricanes, Stars, and Senators.
The Canucks are returning home after completing a 5-game road trip. Normally we look for home teams to be flat in this situation, but that hasn't happened to the Canucks. The Canucks are a perfect 5-0 this season in their first home game following a road trip of at least 3 games. That's fantastic, so why am I doubting them here? Well, they had two days off prior to four of those home wins, and on the lone occasion when they had only one day off, their next opponent was the last place Sharks. Tonight, the Canucks will take the ice after having enjoyed only one day off, and I dare them to win for the sixth straight time in a scheduling spot that is normally challenging for any team.
The Red Wings and Canucks just played each other last Saturday. In that game, the Canucks blew a 3-1 lead and lost the game in overtime after the Red Wings were awarded a penalty shot 23 seconds into the OT. So won't the Canucks be out for revenge tonight? Maybe, but the Red Wings are 5-3 this season when facing an opponent they defeated in their first matchup of the season, so I'm not too concerned about it. By the way, in the middle of last Saturday's game, Canucks defensman Nikita Zadorov smashed the Wings' Lucas Raymond in the head and was assessed a match penalty and game misconduct. He was subsequently suspended for the Canucks next two games, so maybe it'll be the Red Wings who'll be more motivated to lay another loss on this team.
After facing the Red Wings, the Canucks will host the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night. Some may disagree, but I think the Canucks might be looking ahead to this game. Last season, the Jets humiliated the Canucks, blasting them in the season series by scores of 5-1, 7-4, and 4-2, and all of that happened in a span of 23 days. The Canucks have been waiting over a calendar year for another shot at this team. If the Canucks lose tonight, I'm probably coming back with them on Saturday.

The Red Wings are actually 6-0 after their last six losses dating back to December 29th, but it's worth noting that they played 5 of those games at home, and that the lone road win was at San Jose against those last place Sharks.

And 3 of those games were the 2nd game of BTB. Hmmm. Great stuff as always! Thanks!
Good Luck.
