Boston at Detroit

The Bruins beat the Red Wings, 3-2, in a shootout in Boston this past Saturday. Neither team has played since then. Now it's the Red Wings' turn to host the Bruins. But don't look for the script to change. This figures to be another close game, and taking 1.5 goals is excellent insurance. The Red Wings had tied Saturday's game at 2-2 with less than two minutes left after pulling their goalie. The Red Wings have lost four consecutive games. They have surrendered an average of 4.5 goals per game in their last six games. The Red Wings could have trouble defending Morgan Geekie again. Geekie, who is tied with Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon for the NHL lead with 20 goals this season, scored two goals against the Red Wings on Saturday. The Bruins won't have David Pastrnak again, but expect to get back Viktor Arvidsson today to boost their offense. Arvidsson has been out since the middle of last month. Take the Bruins on the puckline.
