Sure, they were trying to make do without Nikolai <span class=SpellE>Khabibulin<\/span> in Game 4, but he hasn&#8217;t exactly stood on his head in Stanley Cup betting this season and the Wings were even more shorthanded, playing without <span class=SpellE>Pavel<\/span> <span class=SpellE>Datsyuk<\/span>, the best two-way forward in the game, and future Hall-of-<span class=SpellE>Famer<\/span> <span class=SpellE>Nicklas<\/span> <span class=SpellE>Lidstrom<\/span>, and they still pounded the Hawks. <\/p>\n<p> Entering Game 5 on the road, the Hawks are a massive online sports book underdog. <span class=SpellE>Khabibulin<\/span> will be a game-time decision, as will Martin <span class=SpellE>Havlat<\/span>, who tried to come back in Game 4 but exited early, still feeling the effects of a vicious hit by <span class=SpellE>Niklas<\/span> <span class=SpellE>Kronwall<\/span> from Game 3. <span class=SpellE>Lidstrom<\/span> and <span class=SpellE>Datsyuk<\/span> will be last-minute calls for the Wings, but <st1:City><st1:place>Detroit<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> proved it can win without them in a tough building like the <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>United<\/st1:PlaceName>  <st1:PlaceType>Center<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>, so the Red Wings odds look great tonight. Brad Stuart and <span class=SpellE>Kronwall<\/span> have more than filled <span class=SpellE>Lidstrom&#8217;s<\/span> void, punishing the speedy Hawks with one <span class=SpellE>bonecrushing<\/span> hit after another. While <span class=SpellE>Datsyuk<\/span> is irreplaceable, Detroit still has unmatched depth up front, and role players like Daniel Cleary and <span class=SpellE>Valtteri<\/span> <span class=SpellE>Filppula<\/span> have stepped it up throughout the Stanley Cup betting playoffs. <st1:City><st1:place>Chicago<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> should be commended for taking massive strides this season, but the young guns are facing elimination for the first time this hockey betting season. Winning on the road in that situation is a tall order.
