Moritz Seider is having a spectacular offensive season, and yet he’s found a way to ramp things up a notch without Dylan Larkin in the lineup.

My Bruins vs. Red Wings predictions expect Seider to get plenty of shots off in a high-stakes matchup against a poor shot suppression team.

Let’s take a closer look at my NHL picks for Saturday, March 21.

Bruins vs Red Wings prediction

Bruins vs Red Wings best bet: Moritz Seider Over 2.5 shots (+140)


Moritz Seider has seen his volume skyrocket without Detroit Red Wings teammate Dylan Larkin. Seider has averaged 3.7 shots on goal and 7.3 attempts per game, well above his season averages of 2.2 shots and 4.9 attempts.

He’s in a great spot to build on those outputs against the Boston Bruins. They rank 27th in shots allowed to Seider’s primary shooting zone (the right point) and 28th over the last 10 games.

This game also has massive playoff implications. Seider is likely heading for 25+ minutes, and he has cleared 2.5 shots in four of the last five he’s seen that usage.

Bruins vs Red Wings same-game parlay


Ben Chiarot has blocked multiple shots in six consecutive games. He’s done so in 72% of his appearances against Top-16 shot generation teams, and the Bruins fit that criteria.

Much like Seider, Charlie McAvoy will see heavy usage as the No. 1 defenseman in a game carrying such weight. He has blocked multiple shots in 69% of road games and 83% against teams ranking in the Top-16 in shots.
