Red Wings vs Flames Picks & Props

Cooley has posted a high-end .920 save percentage and 2.17 GAA with an impressive 10.73 goals saved above expected across his 11 appearances, and he also stands to be busy Wednesday. The Red Wings average the fifth-most shots per game (30.0) and sport an above average 50.9 Corsi For percentage and 52.6% shot share at five-on-five for the campaign, after all. Additionally, I’m also anticipating Detroit having extra motivation to put pucks on net Wednesday. The Red Wings have struggled in the possession game through the first three stops of their current six-game road trip with a miserable 39.3 CF% and average shot differential of minus 6.4 per.

Andersson has recorded three or more shots in six of the past 12 games, and his 29 shots and 63 attempts during the stretch both rank third on the Flames. He’s also logging a massive 24:19 of ice time per night with 2:57 on the No. 1 power-play unit across the 12-game run, and this could prove to be a sneaky matchup. The Red Wings have allowed 32.7 shots per night while being caved in to the tune of a 39.3 Corsi For percentage at five-on-five through the first three stops of their current six-game road trip, after all.

Let's ride the hot hand here tonight. The Flames have won three straight, including a 7-4 win on Monday vs. the Sabres. The offense is starting to pick up steam, and they're defending home ice well.
