Red Wings vs Bruins prediction

Red Wings vs Bruins best bet: Moritz Seider Over 1.5 shots (-145)

Moritz Seider generally gets hard-matched to the opposing team’s top line on home soil, which is not a luxury Todd McLellan has in away games. That means less time against elite competition, where a lot of his attention goes to defense. We’ve seen a spike in his shooting numbers as a result.

Seider has averaged 4.4 attempts in Detroit compared to 5.1 per game on the road. He's attempted at least four shots in 16 of 22 away games, giving him a consistently strong floor.

He's registered multiple shots in 27 of 33 games when generating 4+ attempts. That's a healthy 82% clear rate. Again, Seider is reaching that floor at a higher clip on the road.

He has also generated shots at a ridiculous clip in back-to-back situations, producing six attempts per game while going Over 1.5 shots in eight of nine.

This type of volume in back-to-backs is nothing new for Seider. He actually generated 6.3 attempts in the latter half of back-to-backs a year ago, miles above his season average of 4.5.

Seider is in a great matchup as well. The Boston Bruins give up a lot of shots, and Seider's recorded 2+ in 11 of his last 12 against teams ranking Bottom-10 in shot suppression.

Red Wings vs Bruins same-game parlay

David Pastrnak is a Detroit Red Wings killer, especially at home. He's recorded 4+ shots on target in five straight in Boston while averaging nearly 11 attempts per night. Detroit has allowed the third-most shots to wingers over the last 10 games, so we shouldn’t expect different this time around.

Goals tend to follow when the volume is there for Pastrnak. He's found the back of the net in 43% of his games this season when recording 4+ shots, compared to 25% when getting three shots or fewer.
