Third straight road game for Detroit, ranked #24 in the NHL in goals scored. The Red Wings are 12-3-1 UNDER the total against the Atlantic division and face a red-hot Boston defense. The Bruins are climbing up the Atlantic Division standings on a 12-3-1 run, ranked eighth in goals allowed and penalty killing. Boston won its third in a row with a 2-1 shootout victory over visiting Winnipeg. The flu is sweeping through the Bruins' locker room and the team is 9-3 UNDER the total against the Eastern Conference. Goaltender Tuukka Rask is playing great, stopping 37 shots the last game to improve to 7-0-1 over eight starts. Boston is 16-5-5 UNDER the total playing their fourth game in six days and this shapes up as a defensive duel. Back the UNDER.
