Detroit Red Wings at Columbus Blue Jackets (+170, 5.5)
Even though the Detroit Red Wings secured their 21st consecutive playoff berth with a 7-2 blowout of the Columbus Blue Jackets Monday, don’t expect them to let up when the two clubs complete a home-and-home series Wednesday.
The Red Wings thoroughly outplayed the Blue Jackets in every zone and with Henrik Zetterberg leading the charge, tallied a handful of highlight reel goals.
On Wednesday, they’re expecting to have Johan Franzen back in the lineup after he missed four games with back spasms.
“I think it's real important, as you've seen with Pavel (Datsyuk) and Nick (Lidstrom), when you miss time, it doesn't matter how good a player you are, it doesn't come back right away, so it's important he gets in and gets playing,” Detroit coach Mike Babcock told reporters of Franzen’s return.
Franzen leads the team with 26 goals and Detroit might as well be playing an AHL team here. This one could get ugly, too.
Pick: Over +++
San Jose Sharks at Anaheim Ducks (+105, 5)
San Jose leads the Pacific by one point over Dallas and Phoenix - who are tied for seventh in the West - and two points over Los Angeles.
“We haven’t done anything yet,’’ captain Joe Thornton said. “We have to keep winning to make the playoffs.’’
After Wednesday, the Sharks have five games remaining – at Phoenix and home-and-home sets with Dallas and Los Angeles. So, it isn’t going to be easy.
Anaheim is on the verge of being eliminated from playoff contention, but the club isn’t going to back down against the Sharks.
Goaltender Jonas Hiller is expected to add to his franchise record when he makes his 70th start of the season. Hiller has owned the Sharks recently with a 5-1-0 mark and a 1.92 goals against average
