Detroit Red Wings vs. Boston Bruins Prediction

I’m on the Red Wings here. I know the back-to-back spot for Detroit is beneficial for Boston in this game, but I still think that side-by-side, these teams are even if Detroit isn’t the better team. The Red Wings have had a solid amount of success on the road this year, and getting them at this price is worth taking a shot on as far as I’m concerned. Give me the Red Wings.
