TacticsDaily Faceoff lists John Gibson as confirmed. Joey Daccord is Seattle's expected starter but not yet confirmed; he was pulled against Vegas on Tuesday after five goals on 21 shots, and Philipp Grubauer (.906) is the alternative. Detroit are without J.T. Compher, Marco Kasper, Mason Appleton and Carter Bear; Seattle miss Lindgren (out until at least 19 November) and Jacob Melanson.

Detroit win · incl. OT: why this pick wins
Why we back it
We think Detroit win this game. They outshoot opponents by seven a game, and both defeats were close games. Seattle finished 27th last season, have lost their last four meetings with Detroit and arrive after a cross-country flight without Lindgren. With Gibson confirmed, we expect Detroit to play the game in Seattle's end and close it out.

No. 09 · Arguing against ourselves
What could beat our pick?
Why this could go wrong.
- Detroit kill only 61.5% of penalties, and Seattle score 3.75 goals a game.
- Detroit score just 2.33 a game, with Kasper and Compher out of the forward group.
- Seattle scored six twice against Calgary: when they get going, goals come in bunches.

FAQ
What does Bet mean?
We expect this result and play it, as a single or as one leg of a double. It is logged in the tracker at the published odds.
How do you choose a pick?
We start from the market, then check a statistical model, named previews and our own scenario test against everything that moves the result: lineups, rest, motivation, style and team news. We publish when at least three of the four agree and the pick wins in the main scorelines. A warning sign, such as a back-up goalie or tired legs, moves us to a safer market or leaves the match as analysis only.
Can a prediction change after publishing?
No. The pick, odds and time are locked when published. Updates go into the log above.
