Detroit rolls into Boston playing confident hockey and cashing results in different ways, including a gritty overtime win Monday that kept them at the top of the East. The Bruins are doing the same thing on this homestand, just with a wider range of outcomes, from a 10-goal eruption to a 1-0 shutout the next night. From a betting angle, this matchup is about which team dictates game state early. Boston is at home, rested, and has been able to win both high-event and low-event games lately.
