Detroit have been disastrous at home this season and they have only 5 wins in 19 home games. An even worse piece of stat is that they lost their last 13 out of 15 home games and coupled with the fact that they are missing more than half of their best players, this gives us a very good situation. They are without their best forward Zetterberg who is the leader of the team in terms of points and also without their third top-scorer Franzen who is the fourth-placed player in terms of points. So, two of their four top players are out and even the stronger teams would not be able to make up for that. In addition, they are without their first goalie Howard and are without Helm, Abddelkader and DeKeyser who are all important players and Top 10 in terms of points so it's hard to expect them to achieve something in this state. They've shown that in the last five games in which they were defeated, they've been playing poorly, they've scored only 2 goals in the last 3 games and it all comes down to irreplaceable absent players. Today they are facing the mighty Ducks who are the second best team in the league, have the momentum of five consecutive wins (4 regular time wins), with 2 consecutive away games, in which they've been pretty solid this season with 10 points in 20 games. They would be the favorites here even if the Wings were complete, but since the home team are without half the squad the Ducks have an advantage that I am sure they will be able to translate into a win.
