In the NHL league, a meeting between two completely different level teams awaits. Boston Bruins currently hold the first place in the Eastern Conference with 82 points. Meanwhile, the Detroit Red Wings sit at the very bottom of the table with 32 points.
Boston Bruins
This season is going exceptionally well for this team so far. They are ahead of even teams like the Lightning, Capitals, and Penguins. The Bruins play especially well at home, where they demonstrate the best game in the entire league. In 31 meetings, they have won 20 games, scored 105 goals, and conceded only 75. In their fortress, the Bruins have won 6 consecutive games, all in regular time. Miller and Clifton will not help the team in these matches, but these losses should not affect the game.
Detroit Red Wings
This is absolutely the worst team in the entire league this season. With 32 points, they are 19 points behind the second-to-last place. Playing away, the Red Wings' game is absolutely tragic. In 30 games, they have suffered 25 losses. Scored 61 goals and conceded even 123. That is, the team concedes twice as many goals on average as they score. In the last 13 games, the team lost 12 times in regular time and only once had luck against the Sabres, who are not a very strong team. Today, the Red Wings will be without DeKeyser, Perlini, Zadina, and Bowey – these are definitely bigger losses than those in the Bruins' ranks.
Choice
So, today we go against the Red Wings again. Their game this season is exceptionally bad. Meanwhile, the Bruins are playing very well at the moment and must collect points to stay at the top of the Eastern Conference. Although the teams' H2H is not entirely in favor of the Bruins, and the last game a week ago was lost, this should be even greater motivation to achieve revenge today in front of home fans. Here we think it would be possible to choose an even greater Bruins advantage, like -2.5 or -3.5. Good luck.
