Detroit has lost four of six and the defense has allowed 24 goals over the last seven contests. They're 15th in the NHL in goals surrendered (3.17 per game) and save percentage (.899). Three weeks ago, the Red Wings upset Boston at home, 5-4, but now head to Beantown. Boston is 7-0-1 at home and No. 1 defensively in goals given up (2.11 per game) and save percentage (.933). The Bruins are on a 42-12 run in the first half of the season, plus 25-6 revenging a loss to an opponent. They're also 57-20 versus teams that average 2.85+ goals per game, so back home ice. Play Boston.
