Red Wings vs. Bruins Prediction and Odds: Boston Will Win Big
If you are a Detroit Red Wings fan, you have to love the direction that the team is going in. They went full rebuild a couple of years ago, and Steve Yzerman continues to make smart moves in the front office. They’re now 4-4-2 in their first 10 games of the season, which is a respectable mark given where people thought they’d be this year.
They’re set to face the Boston Bruins on Thursday night, who are one of only two teams who have played just seven games so far this season. They sit at 4-3 heading into tonight’s Atlanta Division matchup.

Red Wings vs. Bruins Prediction and Pick
Congratulations to the Red Wings for their relatively strong start to the season, but the success is doomed to be short-lived. Detroit ranks second last in the NHL in CORSI% and 25th in high danger scoring chances. The time to fade the Red Wings on a nightly basis is upon us.
That’s especially the case when they face a team like the Bruins who are the best defensive team in the NHL, allowing the fewest high danger scoring chances against at 8.04.
The oddsmakers are smart enough to look past each team’s records, as they have the Bruins set as massive -260 (Bet $260 to profit $100) ahead of tonight’s game, so if you’re going to bet Boston, it’s best to do it on the -1.5 puckline.
Pick: Bruins -1.5 (-110)
*Note: When writing NHL articles, I refer to two main advanced analytics. CORSI% measures shot differential. All shots on goal, missed shots on goal, and blocked shot attempts count towards CORSI. High danger scoring chances is a measure of shot attempts that take place close to the net and are considered high percentage areas for scoring goals.
