NHL Picks: Detroit Red Wings at Florida Panthers Historically, the Detroit Red Wings just aren’t the same team on the road as they are when they play in HockeyTown. The Red Wings are an average team this year, flirting with an end to their lengthy playoff streak.
The Florida Panthers have surged to the top record in their division and the second-best record in the Eastern Conference. They have good young skaters (except Jaromir Jagr) and have gotten excellent goaltending. The team is really coming together and they’re streaky. Right now, they are on another winning streak and look sharp.
