Red Wings Can Shut Teams Down
If the Red Wings are going to find a way to win in Boston, they will have to get it done with their defense. Detroit comes into this game allowing just three goals per game, and they have killed off 94 percent of their penalties this season.
The Red Wings continue to use a pair of goaltenders, but Ville Husso has played the best as he is 2-0-1. Detroit should be able to count on their defense in this one, and then it will be up to the offense to score.
Dominik Kubalik is having a huge first season with the Red Wings, leading the way with four goals and six assists.
Bruins Beating Teams on Offense
The offensive numbers for Boston through seven games have been tremendous, as the Bruins are scoring 4.14 goals per game. The Bruins have scored just five power-play goals, but they are finding holes in 5-on-5 action.
David Pastrnak has taken over the lead role for the Bruins’ offense, leading the way with five goals and seven assists. Boston continues to get contributions from up and down the roster in this fast start.
Goaltender Linus Ullmark is a perfect 5-0 this year, and he has been another reason this team has gotten off to such a great start. Ullmark won’t take all of the credit, though, and recently said, “I want to talk about the team. It’s not just me. We’re doing this together. I’ve got guys in front of me blocking shots left and right.”

Red Wings vs Bruins Prediction
Until the Boston Bruins show that they are on the verge of slowing down, it’s going to be hard to pick against them in any matchup. Detroit will do its best to end Boston’s winning streak, but the Red Wings just don’t have enough offense.
Detroit has struggled to win games of late, and heading to Boston to face the Bruins is not going to be good. The Bruins are going to pull away from the Red Wings late in this game to pick up a comfortable win.
