Through 66 regular season matches, 32 of its games have gone under the total, while 26 have gone over and just eight have pushed. As the visiting team, Detroit is 5-28 SU.

Detroit has converted on just 14.6 percent of its power play chances this season, a figure that places it in the bottom- overall among NHL teams. On the other hand, its penalty kill unit is ranked 29th overall and it's successfully defended 74.5 percent of all penalties.
