The Boston Bruins (50-9-2-3, 30-25 PL, 26-32 O/U) take on the Detroit Red Wings (29-27-6-3, 30-35 PL, 30-33 O/U) in the back end of a home-and-home set on Sunday afternoon in Detroit. These rivals met on Saturday afternoon in Boston in a game the Bruins won 3-2 to take a 2-0 lead in the season series.
The Boston Bruins head out on a five-game road trip starting on Sunday. Boston had their 10-game winning streak snapped in a home loss against the Oilers on Wednesday and almost overlooked the Red Wings in Saturday’s narrow 3-2 home victory. Boston has a 10-point cushion atop the conference. The Bruins are 23-6-2 on the road this season and stand at a stellar 9-1 in their last ten games.
David Pastrnak had his three-game goal-scoring streak end in Saturday’s loss. The 26-year-old star is near the top of the league with his remarkable 45 goals. Pasta has three points in two games against the Red Wings this season. Patrice Bergeron has five points in his last five games after scoring in Saturday’s victory. The 37-year-old center is having another productive season, amassing 48 points and a strong plus-29 rating. Charlie McAvoy doesn’t get the credit other top defensemen in the NHL do but is one of the premier d-men in the game. The 25-year-old has 43 points in 51 games played and logs close to 25 minutes of ice per game.

The Bruins had Linus Ullmark guarding the cage in Saturday’s home victory meaning it will likely be Jeremy Swayman in the net in the rematch. Ullmark is going to win the Vezina considering his 1.89 GAA and a .938 save % accompanied by a 32-4-1 record. Swayman has a 2.30 GAA and a .916 save %. The Bruins are averaging 3.8 goals per game, ranking them second. They are allowing an average of only 2.1 goals, which leads the NHL.
