10* PUCKLINE GAME OF THE YEAR (100% RUN!)
(NHL) Detroit vs. Boston, 11/30/2021 7:00 PM, Score: 2 - 1
Point Spread: -1.50 | 109.00 Boston (Home)
Result: Loss
I'm playing BOSTON on the puck-line (-1.5 goals) While the Bruins are fairly steep favorites on the money-line, we're able to get them as small underdogs on the puck-line. In this case, I believe that's where the value lies. Trips to Boston rarely go well for the Red Wings. Indeed, the Bruins take care of business against teams like Detroit. They're 6-0 their last six against losing teams. As mentioned, they've owned the Wings here. The Bruins won the last two meetings here by scores of 5-1 and 4-1. The Wings scored an upset here in December of 2018 but that's been their only win here in years. Thirteen of Boston's last 15 home wins against Detroit have been by multiple goals, too. The Wings are 1-7 their last eight on the road and the only victory came at Buffalo. They hung within a goal of a bad Arizona team (2-1 loss) last time out but their previous five road losses all came by more than a goal. So, when on the road, they can compete with the other really bad teams (Buffalo and Arizona) but not against the stronger ones. Knowing their schedule gets tougher after this, expect the Bruins to go all out in this one en route to another multi-goal victory.
