AccuScore Analyst Jonathan Lee looks ahead to game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

The Penguins thought they had jumped back into the Stanley Cup Finals by tying the series at two games. They won both games at home by identical 4-2 scores. Then the series shifted back to Detroit and the Wings, suddenly at full strength with the return of Pavel Datsyuk, dominated Game 5 with a 5-0 victory. The Wings can close out the series Tuesday and have had two more days of rest to rest and prepare to win yet another Cup.

This year AccuScore is 33-18, an accuracy rate of 65% to produce +340 units of profit on Pittsburgh home money line picks. AccuScore has also been profitable on Detroit road games (29-21, 58% +32). The Game 6 forecast shows the Wings winning 51.5% of simulations by 0.2 goals on average.
