The Detroit Red Wings are in a must-win situation, but overcoming a squad that is clearly stronger on paper is a significant challenge. Their best chance lies in the possibility that the Carolina Hurricanes might ease off, having already locked in a play-off spot and with their second-place position in the division virtually unchallenged.
Detroit Red Wings
This team is scrapping for points wherever they can find them, currently sitting six points adrift of the Eastern Conference's eighth place. On 1 April, they travelled to face the St. Louis Blues — a daunting match-up against a side that had won nine consecutive games. The Detroit Red Wings came close to a major upset, leading 1:0 with only 30 seconds left in regulation. However, Jordan Kyrou, the hosts’ top scorer, equalised during a late offensive surge against Cam Talbot. In overtime, the St. Louis Blues completed the comeback, although veteran goaltender Cam Talbot impressed with 35 saves from 37 shots.
Carolina Hurricanes
Their opponents, the Carolina Hurricanes, have taken two points in eight of their last ten games, never once settling for a draw. Over the past week, they have netted 15 goals in three matches, securing emphatic victories — including a dominant 5:1 win over the Washington Capitals. But how do you slow down a team in such commanding form? First, it's worth noting that all three of those convincing wins came on home ice. Second, four of their last five away victories were against teams outside of the play-off picture. One of those was against the Detroit Red Wings, back on 4 March, with Alex Lyon between the pipes. He was solid on the night, conceding only two goals from 30 shots.
Detroit Red Wings vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction
With a bit of luck, the Detroit Red Wings could at least salvage a draw against the Carolina Hurricanes. Cam Talbot is expected to start in goal and has conceded no more than two goals in four of his last five outings. The key will be whether their offence can provide the necessary support. The team currently ranks third in the league for PPG, so the potential for an upset is certainly present.
