Final Avalanche-Red Wings Prediction & Pick

Alex Lyon has not been playing him as of late, but the Red Wings have been playing better as of late. they have won three of their last five, and have been scoring well in the process. The Avalanche have not been scoring as well. They have had to rely on solid defense, but that has let them down some. They gave up three goals to both the Coyotes and Capitals, who are amongst the worst-scoring teams in the NHL. The Red Wings will score plenty in this one, and if Lyon can play like he is capable, the Red Wings will get upset at home.
