You might find it strange for us to recommend betting on the Detroit Red Wings. Statistically, they’ve yet to do handicappers any favors this season at 11-15 against the spread and minus-1.48 units on the moneyline. But that’s old news in Hockeytown.

Actually, so is the key to Detroit’s vault. The goaltending battle between Dominik Hasek and Chris Osgood is making its second Motown appearance, and this time, Osgood is coming out on top with a 13-1 record in 16 games and a .924 save percentage. Hasek’s mobility is limited by a bad hip, therefore his .864 save percentage and 5-5 record.

The Red Wings already boast by far the league’s best goal differential at 0.92 goals per game. Picking them in games where Osgood gets the nod seems like an easy route to the bank. They have some pesky teams this week in Montreal, Minnesota and Carolina; two out of three should still get Detroit some profit.
