Detroit had a pretty good start to the new season, picking up 4 points in 3 games, losing only on home ice to New Jersey 4-3.
Pittsburgh had a similar start - a loss in the first game to Chicago, and then two solid wins over Washington and Calgary.
There is no clear favourite in this match, Detroit is still considered a "dark horse", the team has not changed the main five, Pittsburgh's lineup has changed significantly, but still has Crosby and Malkin, so it is better to bet on the total.
Prediction: at least 6 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 5.5" bet, odds 1.52
