Detroit vs. Boston: NHL Match Prediction
Detroit snapped a losing streak in the first game at home. On November 24, the Red Wings will play at home against Boston, which recently fired Jim Montgomery. The Bruins started with a win under their new coach, but once again failed to show a strong offensive game. The hosts are doing very poorly so far, and Dylan Larkin team has been at the bottom of the conference standings for a long time. Who can take the important two points?

Command Analysis
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
The Wings were able to improve their position in the East a little thanks to a victory over the Islanders (2:1) in the first game of the home series. Detroit rose to 12th place in the conference and has 18 points after 19 games. The club from Michigan played poorly on the road in the middle of the month and was able to earn only two points in the opening match against Pittsburgh (3:2, OT). After that, the Red Wings lost to all three teams from California in turn. The Reds could not cope with the pressure of Anaheim (4:6), Los Angeles (1:4) and San Jose (4:5, OT), conceding 14 goals in three games. In the battle with the Isles, Dylan Larkin team conceded at the very beginning of the game, but turned on the fifth gear at the end and scored two unanswered goals in the decisive five minutes of regulation time.
The Americans have been poor defensively of late, allowing 18 goals in their last five games. This season, Detroit is allowing 3.21 goals per game, while their home numbers are roughly equal to their road numbers. Cameron Talbot is currently the team number one goalie, and he been playing slightly better than Alex Lyon. Each goalie has made one shutout in the regular season, but that not enough.
Lucas Raymond is the team leading scorer with 18 points (3+15) in the goal+pass system. Alex DeBrincat (8+9) and Dylan Larkin (11+5) have already come close to him. The hosts' captain currently holds the status of the club leading sniper.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts will play against Boston with their full squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Detroit is allowing an average of 3.21 goals per game.
Krylia have failed to improve their defense in recent matches and have only worsened their defensive performance.
- The Red Wings are winning 50.7 percent of their faceoffs.
Derek Lalonde players have started to perform a little better at the point and win the puck for their teammates more often.
Boston Bruins
USACurrent form
Boston made headlines this week. The team lost another home game this season and the management decided to fire the visiting head coach. Joe Sacco took over from Jim Montgomery and will serve as the Bears’ acting coach for now. With him, the Bruins managed to close out their home series with a 1-0 win over Utah by a narrow margin. Before that, the Massachusetts club lost to St. Louis (2-3, OT) in overtime and suffered a crushing 5-1 loss to Columbus. Joonas Korpisalo became the first star of the game against the rookies and recorded his second shutout this season, despite only playing eight times.
The Bears are having trouble converting their chances. They have managed to hit the opponents' goal only nine times in the last five games, while Boston is scoring a modest 2.33 goals per game this regular season. David Pastrnak has predictably taken the lead in scoring (8+10). Much more was expected from Brad Marchand. The Bears' captain has scored a modest 14 points (5+9) in almost two months since the start of the regular season.
Joonas Korpisalo could become the Bruins' starting goalie after Jeremy Swayman poor performance. The American has stopped only 88.37% of shots in his own area, while the Finn has a 91.09% save percentage in his own area.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hampus Lindholm won't help the Bears in Michigan.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Bruins have been receiving nearly 12 penalty minutes in recent games.
The visitors are often sent off and therefore often concede when they are short-handed.
- Boston blocks 13 shots per game
The Bears' defense doesn't sacrifice itself for the team goalies very often and rarely blocks many shots.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three of the four previous matches between the teams, there were at least two goals in the first period.
1.78Bet 2nd period: Boston will score
Boston has scored against Detroit in the second period in the last three games between the clubs.
1.45Tip and bets
We think that Boston will be able to improve its results after the change of coach. The visitors lacked a fresh look at the game and managed to keep their goal intact in the last meeting. Detroit is very weak in attack and, despite the big names in the team, rarely pleases fans with strong performances. It should not be a big problem for the Bruins to contain the leaders of the Wings. We believe that the Bears will be able to win in Michigan on November 24. We offer to bet on the victory of Brad Marchand team taking into account overtime and a shootout series. Prediction - Boston wins the match for 1.75
Bet on individual total Detroit has been playing terribly defensively and has been conceding a lot of goals all fall. Cam Talbot is unable to play consistently well due to his age, and Alex Lyon is unable to find the necessary form and regularly lets down his teammates. The visitors have someone to score on and we think the club from Massachusetts is able to take advantage of the opponent weakness. We bet on Boston individual total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.60
Total Bet
Matches between rivals are rarely boring. Now both teams really need points and will take risks if they start losing during the match. In the five previous matches, only once at least six goals were not scored. We believe that this trend will continue and the hockey players will not sit back in defense. Let play a bet on the total over.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks for 1.80
