Tonight we have what should be a really fun matchup between the top two teams in the Atlantic Division as the 5-2-1 Detroit Red Wings head to Boston to face the 6-0-1 Bruins. The Bruins went 2-1 in the three games between these teams last season, winning 5-1 and 3-2, both on the road, and then losing 5-3 at home. The puck drops at 7 p.m. EST at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
Expectations were elevated for the Detroit Red Wings this season with the goal of making the playoffs. They opened their season with a loss before going on a five-game win streak, but come into tonight’s game on a two-game losing streak. After losing 5-4 at home to the Kraken on Tuesday, they followed that up with a 4-1 home loss to the Jets on Thursday night. The Red Wings outshot Winnipeg 36-29 and outplayed them by an expected goal rate of 3.35-2.23, but couldn’t solve Connor Hellebuyck in the loss.
The Red Wings offense has been fantastic so far to start the season. They’ve scored an average of 4.38 goals per game, the second-most in the NHL, on an average of 31.3 shots per game. They’ve generated the ninth-most expected goals per 60 minutes (3.34) and the fourth-most high-danger shots in the league.
Detroit has been around league average defens ively to start the year. They’ve allowed an average of 3 goals per game, ranking 15th in the NHL, on an average of 30.4 shots allowed per game. They’ve given up the 13th-fewest expected goals per 60 minutes (2.97) and the seventh-fewest high-danger shots. Ville Husso is confirmed in goal tonight. So far this season he has a 3-1-1 record, a 3.38 GAA, and a .893 save percentage.
