Red Wings vs Penguins Odds & Picks: Bet The OVER For This Goalfest

Tonight, the Detroit Red Wings start a four-game road trip against the Pittsburgh Penguins who look to avenge a 7-1 blowout at the hands of the Dallas Stars in their last outing. The Wings are +120 road dogs at BET99 while Pittsburgh are -140 home favorites.

Eight of the last 10 games between the Red Wings and Penguins have gone OVER the total and I see no reason tonight is any different so I'm taking the -115 odds from BET99 that the game goes OVER 6.5 goals.

Red Wings vs Penguins Picks

OVER 6.5 Goals (-115) at BET99

Let me build my case for the OVER in tonight's game starting with the total going OVER in eight of the last 10 Red Wings-Penguins games (+5.8 units) with an average of 9.1 goals scored. The last game between Detroit and Pittsburgh was earlier this season with the total reaching nine goals, Crosby picked up two points in that game and has 1.8 points per game against Detroit since the 20-21 season, OVER 1.5 points for Crosby is +175 at BET99.

Pittsburgh is a sieve lately allowing 4.25 goals against in their last four games and Tristan Jarry, who's back from the AHL following a disastrous 5.47 goals against average and 0.836 save percentage to open the year, likely gets the start. This means that Detroit's shooters who've converted on 13% of their shots in their last five games will fill the Penguins' net.

Meanwhile, a recent rumor out of Pittsburgh stating that GM Kyle Dubas is willing to trade anyone not named Sidney Crosby could be a motivating factor for some underperforming Penguins to pad their stats sheet and attract some suitors from around the league and get them out out of the Steel City. Michael Bunting comes to mind as one of those underperforming Penguins with three points in 16 games, OVER 0.5 points is +135 at BET99 if you believe he snaps out of his funk.

Tonight, as with most nights when the Red Wings play the Penguins, the total goes OVER 6.5 goals.

Red Wings vs Penguins Player Prop

Mortiz Seider O1.5 Shots (-145) at BET99

With the Penguins allowing the fourth-most shots on net per game (32.31) and with how they allow the fourth-most shots from defensemen per game (9.25), I'll take Detroit's leading shooter from the blueline Mortiz Seider to go OVER 1.5 shots.

Despite Seider going UNDER 1.5 shots in his last three games, he should easily go OVER 1.5 shots tonight. Seider has also done well against the Penguins averaging 1.7 shots per game in his still-young career. And look Seider sees more than enough of the puck with an average of 3.86 shot attempts per game over his last seven outings. He'll easily go OVER 1.5 shots tonight.
