Detroit Red Wings vs Boston Bruins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/13/26

The Detroit Red Wings will travel to TD Garden to take on the Boston Bruins. The Red Wings are coming off an overtime win over the Carolina Hurricanes last night. The Red Wings currently rank 2^nd in the Eastern Conference and have won 4 of their last 5 games overall. The Bruins have also won 4 of their last 5 games, though they have had very different results in their last 2 games. In the most recent game, they beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 1-0. In the game prior to that the Bruins beat the Rangers 10-2. With both teams in fantastic form, it should be a very good game.

Looking at the statistics, both teams are averaging over 3 goals per game while giving up more than 3 goals per game. Over the past 5 games, the Bruins have scored 22 goals while giving up 12. For the Red Wings, they have scored 19 while giving up 11. As we can see, these teams are playing very similar hockey right now. The biggest difference between them is that the Bruins lead the NHL in opponent penalty minutes. This is a major disadvantage as the Red Wings rank toward the bottom of the league in penalties. The Red Wings also score on 24.7% of their powerplays and average 28.4 shots per game. Overall, this should be a tight game but I trust the offense of the Red Wings more than the Bruins. I am taking the Red Wings on the money line.
