Detroit Red Wings vs. Phoenix Coyotes NHL Puck Betting Action

When Detroit hits the ice tonight, each player will know that the Red Wings streak of 21 consecutive National Hockey League playoff appearances is in jeopardy of being snapped like a twig. We like motivated teams!

Phoenix still has very faint playoff hopes and can also play the role of spoiler in the Motor City tonight. Puck drop is slated for 7:30 PM ET on April 22, 2013, from the legendary Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, MI.

Red Wings: Play a crucial Game in Hand contest tonight

Sitting in ninth place overall in the NHL Western Conference, three points back of a streaking Columbus club, Detroit plays one of the two games they “have in hand” over the Blue Jackets tonight. A win here would narrow the gap to a single point in the chase for eighth and move the Red Wings two points up on the tenth place Dallas Stars. Hockey Town will be rocking and rolling!

Coyotes: Desert Dogs look to play giant killers in back-to-back contests

Coming off a shocking 3-2 OT victory against the league leading Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night, Phoenix rolls into Motown looking to put a dent in the Red Wings playoff hopes. Goaltender Mike Smith was brilliant in the Coyotes net as he stopped 36 of the 38 shots the Hawks fired his way at the United Center. He will need a similar performance for the Dogs to cash tonight.
