Boston at Detroit

Boston is fighting to make the playoffs and they need a win. They are playing very solid defense right now (10 goals allowed in last five games). Detroit could get caught sleep-walking through this one with a back-to-back against Nashville on deck. They only managed to be LA by one goal last game, indicating they aren't in a mood to be blowing out bad teams. Further evidence is that the Red Wings are just 6-10 the past two seasons at home vs. teams at 40%-50% winning percentage. Boston is a .500 proposition this season (21-21) vs. great offensive teams that score 3+ per game so don't automatically count them out.
