He has 21 points in his last 24 games and is the straw that stirs Detroit\u2019s drink. Gus Nyqvist has seven points in five games, Nik Kronwall has four points in four games and Johan Franzen has two points in his last two games.<\/p>\n<p>Conspicuously absent from Detroit\u2019s Hot List are the top two Detroit scorers \u2013 Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk. They haven\u2019t been lighting the score sheet on fire lately but are certainly as dangerous a duo as there is in the NHL.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=16&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>It is only a matter of time before Zetterberg and Datsyuk catch fire \u2013 it could come against an Edmonton team that has had no answer for them in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Howard figures to get the call between the pipes after playing OK but taking the loss in Vancouver Saturday. He is a superb 10-0 in his last 10 starts versus Edmonton with a 1.37 GAA and has been stellar for his club this year.<\/p>\n<p>The Edmonton Oilers have quietly gained points in four straight games since head coach Todd Nelson officially took over \u2013 they are 2-0-2 in their last four games and are coming arguably their best effort of the season Sunday. That said the Oilers are still at the bottom of the league in goals for (2.18 per game) and goals against (3.30 per game).<\/p>\n<p>The Oilers have been getting contributions from some newcomers to the roster \u2013 Matt Fraser has two goals in four games and Derek Roy has a goal and an assist in four games since being acquired.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Eberle has three points in three games, Taylor Hall has six points in seven games and Matt Hendricks has two points in his last two games. The arrow has been pointing up for the Oilers for the first time in a long while but no Oiler \u2013 I mean no Oiler has had success against the Wings!<\/p>\n<p>Ben Scrivens should be between the pipes \u2013 he is 1-0-1 with a 1.44 GAA and .951 save percentage in his last two starts while Viktor Fasth is an ugly 0-2-0 with a 6.35 GAA and miserable .757 save percentage in his last two starts.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=64161&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Neither keeper has a goals against under 3.00 \u2013 we can expect the Wings to find the back of the net a few times on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<h3>NHL Gambling Trends<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022 Under is 9-2-2 in DET last 13 overall.<br \/>\n\u2022 DET are 7-20 in their last 27 Tue. games.<br \/>\n\u2022 DET are 3-8 in their last 11 overall.<br \/>\n\u2022 EDM are 3-12 in their last 15 home games.<br \/>\n\u2022 EDM are 13-39 in their last 52 overall.<br \/>\n\u2022 Under is 6-2-2 in EDM last 10 vs. Atlantic.<br \/>\n\u2022 DET are 19-7 in the last 26 meetings.<\/p>\n<p>The Detroit Red Wings are still in that top tier or two of NHL teams while the Oilers still occupy the basement of the bottom tier. To think that the Oilers will win two straight against top 10 NHL teams is far-fetched at this point of the season. Detroit will win this game \u2013 but there is zero value in taking them on the Moneyline.<\/p>\n<p>The play here is the Over \u2013 5 1\/2 goals. The Wings should be motivated to bring their best against one of the most generous teams the league has seen in years.<\/p>\n<h3>NHL Betting 4* Free Play<\/h3>\n<p>The Oilers should be able to score too \u2013 they enter Tuesday night\u2019s game with more confidence than they have had in months \u2013 for what that\u2019s worth!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Over \u2013 5 1\/2 goals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This game has 5-2 written all over it!<\/p>\n<p><b>CappersPicks.com <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/nhl\/\">NHL Betting<\/a> and gambling site provides the BEST Online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/procappers\">hockey predictions<\/a> for you to bet on for the NHL hockey season!
