Detroit's shot prevention is the strongest reason for Under 6.5 against Edmonton. Through 11 games, the Red Wings have allowed 25.5 shots per game, while the Oilers have averaged 25.5 shots themselves.
Edmonton is still looking for more even-strength scoring beyond its top line. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are projected together.
Detroit's offense ranks 25th at 2.55 goals per game through 11 games. The Red Wings have allowed 2.91 goals per game in that span.
