"Detroit" will meet on the road with "Columbus" in the next match of the regular season of the National Hockey League. Our sports portal gives a forecast for the game.
Columbus Blue Jackets
The "Uniforms" occupy the last place in the Eastern Conference table. This season, Brad Larsen's team played 22 games in the regular season and scored 18 points. Columbus held the previous meeting in Canada, where it dealt with Winnipeg — 4:1. Patrick Laine (twice), Eric Goodbranson and Gustav Nyquist scored accurate shots for the winners. The goalkeeper of the "uniforms" Joonas Korpisalo played well, reflecting 37 shots out of 38. With this victory, Columbus broke a series of three defeats.
Detroit Red Wings
The club from the City of Motors is located on the ninth line in the Eastern Conference table. The last three matches have been unsuccessful for Derek Lalonde's team — three defeats in a row. First, the Red Wings lost to Toronto (2:4) and Buffalo (4:5 B), and then failed to cope with Vegas (1:4). Detroit lost all these three games on its own ice. In total, this season, the Red Wings have played 23 games in the regular season and scored 27 points.
Statistics and figures:

Forecast
I will make a risky bet on effective hockey from Detroit. In recent matches with Columbus, the team from the City of Motors throws quite a lot of pucks. I think the upcoming meeting will be no exception.
