Ron's Comment:  The Game of the Night in my view, as the Sharks got caught looking ahead last night in Columbus, as they lost 2-1 in OT. The Red Wings need a big test and here's what the doctor ordered, a big game vs. the top team in the league. Normally a game like this will bring out the Red Wings top guns and I expect Hossa, Zetterberg and Datsyk to light it up tonight. When DETROIT team played as a home team - Last 2 years - During the month of December - Allowed 3 or more goals AGAINST in their last game; The Red Wings are 9-1 SU in this role the L2Y

Prediction:  Detroit 5 San Jose 2

Columbus vs. Dallas

Ron's Comment:  Here's your ultimate letdown spot, as the Blue Jackets are coming off a huge home underdog win last night vs. the Sharks and it will be tough for them to match that intensity tonight after a night of traveling. When DALLAS team played as a home team - Total is 5.5 - With 1 day off - Coming off a Home win as a Favorite - Coming off a 1 goal win; The Stars are 8-2 SU in this spot.

Prediction:  Dallas 4 Columbus 1
