Something’s got to give when the Red Wings and Canucks meet up on Tuesday night in Vancouver. On one side of the ice, Detroit has won both of their road games so far this season. The Canucks however have gone 2-0 at home.
Vancouver comes into this tilt on a two game winning streak. The Red Wings meanwhile have dropped 2 of their last 3. The Canucks are listed as a very significant favorite in this one, are they a puck line worthy wager?
Detroit Red Wings
Detroit fell 2-5 in Toronto on Saturday but it was as +170 underdogs. The Red Wings haven’t gotten a whole lot of love from oddsmakers this season as they’ve been ‘dogs in all 5 games.
The Red Wings having a 3-2 record through 5 games makes them one of the most profitable teams to bet on so far in 2019/20. Detroit has wins at +220, +145, and +170 on the year.
What makes Detroit a tough team to bet against on Tuesday is the fact that their offense has scored at least 4 goals in 3 of 5 games this year. The ‘over’ has hit in Red Wings games to the record of 3-1-1.
Anthony Mantha is the second leading scorer in the NHL with 6 goals in 5 games. A 4-goal night 10 days ago vs. Dallas definitely helps that cause but Tyler Bertuzzi has also chipped in 3 scores this year.

Jimmy Howard will try to rebound from back-to-back losses when he gets the start in net on Tuesday. The Detroit goaltender allowed 3 goals to Anaheim and 4 goals to Toronto in his last two, both at home.
Howard has faced 40+ shots in two of his three starts. That has definitely been a problem for the Detroit defense, who rank 24th in the league in shots against (33.8). There should be plenty of opportunities for Vancouver here.
Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks have had a very successful trip back home after starting the season 0-2 on the road. The Canucks offense disappeared in those away games, scoring just 2 total goals in losses at Edmonton and Calgary.
Things have looked better for Travis Green’s team back at Rogers Arena. The Canucks beat the Kings 8-2 in their home opener at -167 and upended the Flyers 3-2 in a shootout on Saturday.
The Vancouver offense had a great game vs. LA, but otherwise it’s been pretty ho-hum on that end of the ice. The Canucks are 26th in the league in the power play, with just an 8.3% conversion rate.

Jacob Markstrom is just 2-2 on the season, but the Canucks goaltender has played well. He has a .926 save percentage and has held three straight opponents to 2 goals scored.
The Canucks defense has done a good job of limiting the shots on Markstrom. He faced just 22 and 29 shots the first two games of the year and rank 9th allowing just 30.3 attempts per game. Vancouver hasn’t allowed a PP goal all year either.
