The case

The Detroit Red Wings are in better form this season, holding a 5-4-3 record compared to the Chicago Blackhawks' 3-8-0. Detroit also benefits from more rest, having last played three days ago, while Chicago played two days ago and travels for this game. The potential return of Detroit goalie Daniil Tarasov, who has a .940 save percentage this season, could further bolster their performance against a struggling Blackhawks team. Chicago's recent form shows a 3-7-0 record in their last 10 games, including a three-game losing streak before their last win.

Detroit Red Wings: Stronger season record (5-4-3) compared to Chicago's (3-8-0).
Detroit Red Wings: More rest, last played 3 days ago; Chicago played 2 days ago and travels.
Detroit Red Wings: Goalie Daniil Tarasov has a .940 SV% in 4 GP and is expected back Oct 29.
Chicago Blackhawks: Struggling with a 3-7-0 record in their last 10 games.
