Ducks Expected to be Outsiders

It has been a reliable start to the season for the Ducks. However, they are yet to find their consistency across their nine outings in 2025-26.

They come into this round after going 5-3-1 across their opening nine, but they were winners in their latest outing against the Florida Panthers.

The Ducks held their nerve in the shootout to register the win, despite throwing away a 2-0 advantage in the final period on Monday evening.

Red Wings Aiming for Top Spot

The Detroit Red Wings have already emerged as one of the leading teams in the Eastern Conference this season.

They come into this round after winning seven of their opening ten games. Meanwhile, only the Lightning have conceded fewer goals than Detroit so far this term.

The Red Wings extended their winning sequence to two games last time out after beating the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on the road.

Red Wings vs. Ducks NHL Picks

The Ducks have still been slightly inconsistent in the NHL so far this season.

Therefore, the in-form visitors could be worth siding with when making Red Wings vs. Ducks picks. It could be worth noting that Detroit have won 44% of their games on the road against their opponents on Friday.
