AvailabilityAvailability report

ESPN's injury report for the Red Wings: Daniil Tarasov (undisclosed, day-to-day).

ESPN's injury report for the Oilers: Jason Dickinson (undisclosed, injured reserve), Mattias Ekholm (upper body, out), and Devon Levi (undisclosed, injured reserve).

VerdictThe call

Honest pass. The Red Wings were the better side on the model, but -0.1¢ at the ask is under the 3.0¢ bar. Below the bar, spread and noise eat most of the edge, so passing is the call.
