The regular season of the NHL will give us a lot of interesting meetings, among them the duel between Detroit and Vancouver stands out. The meeting of these teams will take place on October 17 at 02:00 Moscow time. Our portal offers you its forecast for the outcome of this meeting.
Detroit Red Wings
The restructuring of the "red wings" has been delayed, which continue to grow their youth and sign new prospectuses. It is also worth noting the arrival of Nedelkovich in the goal line, who has had a powerful season and is ready to fight for the title of number one. The team will continue this season to play young people who can give out bright games, as it was in the opening match against Tampa Bay, where the wings lost only in overtime.
Vancouver Canucks
The Killer Whales noticeably failed last season, even failing to jump into the playoff zone. This has caused a big change in the cage of a team that has done well in the transfer market. A new goalkeeper was signed, and the defensive line, which is usually a weak zone in the team, was refreshed. The newcomers still need to play, but for now the team has failed the preseason, and started the championship with a defeat, but already in the last game they managed to beat Philadelphia on the road with a score of 4:5.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
-
Detroit - Vrana (shoulder injury).
Vancouver - Sutter (illness), Ferland (concussion), Keeper (leg injury).
Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended with a 2-5 victory for Vancouver.
- Detroit has won only once in their last five meetings.
- For three matches in a row, Vancouver has not lost to Detroit.
Forecast
The favorite in this meeting looks like Vancouver, which has a stronger and more well-played squad, although it is not in its best shape right now. Detroit also rarely wins now, showing a terrible defensive game. I think the teams will have a bright attacking duel with a lot of goals.
