Hockey Betting - Blackhawks at the Red Wings

The Blackhawks came into the middle of the week atop the NHL standings, but had dropped two straight games against the moneyline following a five-game winning streak. For their part, the Red Wings had cashed five of their last seven games, and were 1-7-1 O/U (5-4 ML) in their last nine contests.

Chicago (-106) blanked Detroit 3-0 when the teams met in Hockeytown on December 23, as backup netminder Antti Niemi made 33 saves to earn the shutout. Patrick Kane had a goal and an assist for the Hawks, who could be without both Marian Hossa (lower body) and Cam Barker (upper body) on Sunday.

The Wings are also hurting on the injury front. Niklas Kronwall (knee) and Jason Williams (leg) are out until at least the end of the month, while Tomas Holmstrom (foot) and Johan Franzen (knee) are sidelined indefinitely.
