Detroit - Boston: NHL match betting tip
On March 30, two teams from the Original Six will play in Michigan. Detroit may still make the playoffs, but Todd McLellan's team needs to start winning urgently. Boston has very few chances left to play in the final part of the tournament, and this season is turning out to be a failure for the bears. The teams are located next to each other in the Eastern Conference table. How will they play against each other? Look for the answer in the betting tip for the match
Command Analysis
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Detroit was pretty good at the beginning of the calendar year and was a real contender for the playoffs. At the end of winter, the wings seriously slowed down and lost a huge number of points, so now the Michigan State club is only on the 12th line in the conference. The Red Wings have earned only 72 points in 72 games and are three points behind Columbus, which holds onto eighth place in the East. Todd McLellan's team cannot break the losing streak and, after a misfire in Denver (2:5), lost at home to Ottawa (3:4).
The main problem of the team at this stage of the season is a weak defensive game. Detroit has conceded 20 goals in the last five games and has won only one game in that span. Alex Lyon returned to the last line of defense of the hosts, but he does not help out his partners and has reflected only 89.59% of shots on his possessions this season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Andrew Kopp, Carter Mazur, Erik Gustavsson, Petr Mrazek and Elmer Soderblom will not play against the Bears.
Interesting betting trends
- Detroit scores 2.89 goals on average.
- The Red Wings are thrown only 27 times per game.
Boston Bruins
USACurrent form
Boston was among the leaders of the conference at the start of the regular season, but gradually deflated and dropped into the bottom half in the East. The Bears have only 69 points in their piggy bank after 73 starts and are unlikely to be able to compete for the playoffs. The team from Massachusetts has long forgotten the taste of victory and has been losing exclusively since March 12. The visitors lost seven matches in a row, while in the current away series they lost to Vegas (1:5), San Jose (1:3), Los Angeles (2:7) and Anaheim (2:6).
The Bears parted ways with Brad Marchand, weakening an already very weak attack. Boston has become the least-scoring team in the conference, while now the entire offensive game is based solely on David Pastrniak. The Czech forward scored 85 points (35+50) and is among the top ten scorers in the league, despite the club's terrible results.
Disqualifications and injuries
Charlie McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm and Mark Castelic will not be able to help their partners in Michigan.
Interesting betting trends
- Boston is conceding 3.32 goals per game on average this season.
- The guests throw 26 times per match on average

1.70Tip and bets
Detroit cannot find its game at this stage of the season and is gradually losing its chances of making the playoffs. The Michigan State team plays terribly defensively and cannot compensate for mistakes in their half of the court with strong offensive actions. Boston is unlikely to really expect to reach the final of the tournament, but the team led by Todd McLellan is on a long losing streak and really wants to break it. We think that the guests will take advantage of the opponent's weakness and take at least one point.
Our betting tip is that Boston will not lose in 1.85
Betting on an individual total
Detroit is terrible defensively and consistently concedes in large numbers during this stretch of the season. Alex Lyon returned to the last line of defense and did not show a strong level of play. Yes, Boston is weak in attack and scores less than others in the conference, but the bears may well upset the hosts with at least three accurate shots.
Betting Tip - Boston's individual total is more than 2.5 goals in 1.90
Bet on the total
Both teams are gradually losing their real chances of getting into the playoffs and really need to win the upcoming match. Detroit needs to move forward and be number one, and it's time for Boston to get things right offensively. We believe that the meeting will take place on a collision course and will please the stands with at least six goals. Let's play the total more.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.73
