02/21/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Detroit Red Wings shoot for their 13th consecutive victory on home ice when the rival Chicago Blackhawks enter Joe Louis Arena tonight for a matchup between Central Division foes.
Detroit has been tremendous in the Motor City all season long, having amassed a gaudy 21-3-3 home mark for the campaign, and hasn't lost as the host since a 3-2 setback to Ottawa on December 12.
The franchise record for consecutive home victories is 14, set from January 21-March 25, 1965.
The Red Wings can also climb back into first place in the Central, where they currently trail Nashville by just one point, with a win tonight. The Predators also hold a slim edge on Detroit for the all-important top spot in the Western Conference.
Detroit completed a three-game road trip with a 4-1 triumph over lowly Phoenix on Saturday. Henrik Zetterberg was the offensive star for the Red Wings, as the All-Star forward recorded his first career hat trick and added an assist on Justin Williams' empty-net tally in the closing seconds.
Pavel Datsyuk assisted on all four Detroit goals and Dominik Hasek made 20 saves in the win, the Red Wings' eighth in their last 10 games.
Zetterberg continued his torrid scoring pace during February. In eight games this month, the Swedish star has racked up 10 goals and 11 assists.
Chicago will be attempting to halt a three-game overall losing streak as well as ending its recent lack of success in this series. The Blackhawks have lost 11 of their last 12 meetings with Detroit, including all three tests this season.
In its most recent contest, Chicago came up on the short end of a 2-1 decision to the New York Rangers Sunday in Madison Square Garden. Martin Havlat scored the only goal for the Blackhawks, who couldn't get out of an early 2-0 hole.
Patrick Lalime stopped 27-of-29 shots for Chicago in a losing cause.
The Blackhawks, who are 11-15-5 on the road for the season, will open a four- game homestand Thursday against San Jose.
Chicago has lost in eight of its last nine visits to Joe Louis Arena, including a 6-3 setback on January 13.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
