Red Wings vs Bruins Prediction
The Red Wings have cooled off these last few weeks, but it’s not to the level of the Bruins. The Red Wings have also had some tough losses and are still competing. The Bruins look broken during their seven-game losing streak, and the defense has fallen off a cliff. The Bruins have allowed 13 goals in their last two games and five or more goals in five of their last seven games. The Bruins have 22 road losses. This is a spot where the Red Wings can get back on track. Give me the home team on Saturday night.
