Boston Bruins vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction

The Boston Bruins aren’t having the best week in the world, but they’re still far and away the more trustworthy side. The Detroit Red Wings continue to be hit or miss, and their defensive effort is hard to get behind when playing above-average teams. I’d need more bang for my buck to pull the trigger with the Red Wings. The Bruins at this price seem like a steal. I’ll take it.
