Red Wings are Struggling

The Red Wings are struggling heading into this game and they have lost two games in a row. Two games ago against New Jersey Devils, they were defeated 5-4 and in the last game against Vancouver Canucks, the Red Wings ended up losing in overtime. Ville Husso and Cam Talbot were both in goal in the last game, and they both had issues. Jonatan Berggren scored a goal and added an assist.

Lucas Raymond has scored seven goals and added 18 assists. 

Bruins Offense Impressed in Last Game

The Bruins faced off against the Montreal Canadiens and they were able to secure a 6-3 victory. At the end of the first period they were able to secure a 3-0 victory and they ended up cruising. Charlie Coyle had a strong game scoring two goals. Jeremy Swayman had a strong game saving 25 of the 28 shots that he faced. The Bruins are averaging 2.46 goals while their defense is giving up 3.07 goals per game. The offense is ranked 30th in the league while the defense is ranked 17th. 

Detroit Red Wings vs Boston Bruins Prediction

Yes, the Bruins are coming off a high-scoring game, but this game isn’t going to be the same. The Bruins are averaging only 2.46 goals, while the Red Wings are averaging 2.63 points per game. Both offenses are going to struggle to get going here, and that is going to be the difference. Neither team is scoring more than two goals here. Back the under to cash here.
