Detroit at Boston

Detroit leads the Atlantic Division with 60 points. Boston is tied for fifth with 52 points. The Red Wings are the better team, but find themselves in an underdog role here. Justified? The Bruins have won three straight and are tough at home. The Red Wings, though, are on a four-game winning streak following a 4-3 overtime home win against Carolina last night. Boston has the rest advantage. Perhaps that slows down the Bruins' momentum. Detroit ranks 16th defensively and fifth in power-play efficiency. Detroit has 37 power-play goals, third-most in the NHL. The Bruins are sixth on the power play, but rank 21st defensively and give up the second-most shots on goal. This is the fourth time since Dec. 21 that the Red Wings are playing without rest. They are 2-1 in this span. The Red Wings have been solid on the road, going 12-7-3. Morgan Geekie, who leads Boston with 25 goals, is questionable due to personal reasons. Take the Red Wings.
