NHL Betting Preview

San Jose Sharks (5-3-1) at Detroit Red Wings (7-2-1
Friday, 7:35 pm Eastern
SBG Global Opening Line: Red Wings -150 , Total 5.5 Under (-140)

Two teams that are very familiar with each other meet on Friday night as the Detroit Red Wings host the San Jose Sharks. Last season it was Detroit defeating San Jose in the Western Conference semifinals. The Sharks failed in their first attempt at revenge about a week ago as they lost 4-2 to Detroit. SBG Global reports that early betting has the public taking Red Wings at Home.

San Jose is playing the second game of a four game road trip. They won the first game on the trip on Monday as they defeated Calgary 4-1. Milan Michalek scored twice and Jeremy Roenick added two assists. San Jose has lost 11 of their last 15 games at Detroit.

Detroit continues to play well at home. They are coming off a 3-2 win over Vancouver on Wednesday as Tomas Holmstrom scored twice. "I think our guys were determined," said Red Wings coach Mike Babcock, "They got to the net, had some chances, and created some screens."
