The Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins meet Saturday in the NHL action at the TD Garden. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The Red Wings are 37-96 in their last 133 road games and 1-6 in their last 7 overall. The Bruins are 40-11 in their last 51 home games and 46-13 in their last 59 overall. The under is 3-1-1 in Red Wings last 5 Saturday games. The over is 5-2-1 in Bruins last 8 vs. Atlantic. The Red Wings are 2-14 in the last 16 meetings in Boston and 10-23 in the last 33 meetings. The home team is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings.

The Detroit Red Wings aren’t playing great hockey now, and they don’t win on the road, which has been a problem the last 3 years. As Ive said countless times this year, the Boston Bruins are the best team in the league, both on paper and for bettors this season. No team has made bettors more money than the Bruins. Give me the home team and the PL for max betting value.
