I don't really want to post about why I think my team is better since it doesn't do much, but my team was heavily critiqued in the last matchup, so I feel I should.

In my opinion, Detroit has a stronger 1st line, as Tkachuk>>>>Jenner, Eichel=Malkin, Kessel<Meier. I believe the 2nd lines are close, as Ferland<<Parise, Nuge</=Dubois, but Nyquist>>Connolly. 3rd line I will give to Minny. Overall, I think I have better forwards.
Defense is close, as I think Minnesota has a slightly stronger top pairing, as Rielly>Morrissey and Cernak>Hamonic. However, I think 2nd pairing is stronger for Detroit, as Sanheim>>Kempny, and Schmidt>Risto, but Schmidt is playing on his off-hand. Neither of us have good third pairings, so I dont think this is much of a factor.
For goalie, Hellebuyck is better than Bishop.
Detroit has better forwards, Minnesota has slightly better defense, but Detroit has a better goalie.
