Red Wings Falling Behind in the Atlantic

Detroit wasn’t among the NHL picks to contend for the Atlantic Division title, but got off to a strong start and looked like they could have been a playoff team. They haven’t been as good lately and are now fifth in the Atlantic and 10 points behind the Bruins for the top spot. Detroit is 3-3-2 against Atlantic opponents and 3-3-1 on the road this season.

Alex DeBrincat leads the Red Wings in NHL player stats with 18 points (11 goals, 7 assists), but has just two goals in his last 11 games. He scored nine goals in his previous seven games. Captain Dylan Larkin is second on the team with 18 points (6 goals, 12 assists). Lucas Raymond is heating up with six goals in his last 10 games.

Bruins Keep Winning

Not many had the Boston Bruins standings where they are right now to begin this season, but Boston has carried over its regular season success from the year prior, despite losing Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, Dmitry Orlov, and Tyler Bertuzzi. Boston has been among the best NHL teams in the league all season and are 7-0-1 at TD Garden and 6-1-2 against Atlantic Division opponents.

David Pastrnak leads the Bruins with 29 points (12 goals, 17 assists), while Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle are second and third with 19 and 16 points, respectively. Coyle has 11 points in his last 10 games.

Detroit Red Wings vs. Boston Bruins Betting Prediction

Detroit played one of its best games of the season against Detroit and looks rejuvenated after a disappointing trip to Sweden. They’ve also beaten Boston earlier this season. The Boston Bruins haven’t lost in regulation at home this year. However, so the Red Wings puck line is about as confident as we can be when betting on Detroit.
