Shane’s Free Pick
The Red Wings are going to have a good season, but that doesn’t mean they are going to win this game. The Bruins are giving up only 1.6 goals per game and the Red Wings in the last game failed to score any goals. Look for the Bruins to score at least three goals here and that is going to be too many for the Red Wings to keep up with. Back the Bruins to get the job done on the money line.
