    Old Guard vs. Face of the Future - Red Wings/Islanders UNDER 5.5

    This game features two of the best goaltenders and best defenses in the league, so goals should be at a premium here.

    The Wings have the veteran Dominik Hasek in goal, who is 26-8-1-2 while stopping 91.1 percent of the shots that he has faced. As a result, Detroit has one of the lowest goals-against averages in the NHL at just 2.31 goals per game, with the UNDER going a lucrative 27-16 in all Wings games this year. Detroit has also now gone nine consecutive games without allowing more than three goals.

    While the Dominator has been one of the best goaltenders in the league for ages, the Islanders have the future star at the position in Rick DiPietro, who has stopped 91.2 percent of shots faced. Moreover the Islander defense plays even better here at home, where the Isles surrender only 2.46 goals per contest. Finally these clubs have met just once since the league returned from the strike last year, and the Islanders upset the Wings 2-1 in Detroit. We look for a similar type game tonight.

    This is an intriguing line to me LT.

    I'm not really sure how to cap this one consider the line being rather short IMO. Just not sure if were going to see a high or low scoring game tonight.
