Detroit Red Wings Will Clash With Chicago Blackhawks On Friday

This Friday night the Detroit Red Wings will battle against the Blackhawks in Chicago. Both these teams are the Central Division rivals, and members of the “original six.” Even though the Chicago Blackhawks are creeping back into the picture with 35pts which is just 6 behind the Red Wings, the Red Wings lead the spirited Central Division by 5pts over Nashville at present.

For this matchup NHL Betting Odds are not yet available.

By losing 4 of their last 6, including a 5-0 pasting at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings at home Monday night, the Red Wings have struggled in recent times. As the Wings do not continue to lose ground in the Central Division race they will certainly be looking to right the ship on Friday.

The Chicago Blackhawks are struggling a little bit too much like the Red Wings. The Hawks will try to earn as many valuable division points as possible in this match up as they have dropped 3 of their last 5 games, and 2 in a row. The Blackhawks will have to actually focus to earn the two points that a win would give them in this game as they have already played 3 more games than the Red Wings.

This should be an exciting hockey game as both teams are high scoring and fast skating squads. Even as the Blackhawks sit at 8th place on the whole averaging 3.1 goals per competition, the Red Wings have dropped to 3rd in the league with a 3.3 goals for each game average. This Friday night, with these two balanced offensive attacks the goals should come in bunches.
