Boston (15-12-0) sits second in the Atlantic but has slipped lately, dropping three of their last four amid a brutal injury wave, while Detroit (13-11-2) lurks just outside a wild-card spot and desperately needs a spark after surrendering six goals apiece in the two games prior to the Boston loss, now mired in a four-game skid.Jim Montgomery’s Bruins boast a top-tier power play converting at 25% but will miss sniper David Pastrnak (undisclosed, third straight absence) and blue-liner Charlie McAvoy (upper body, long-term), thinning an already leaky defense that’s 24th in goals against (3.2 per game). Forward Viktor Arvidsson returns from a lower-body tweak to bolster the top six alongside Elias Lindholm and Casey Mittelstadt, who’s tied for the league lead in goals (12) after his shootout winner. Pavel Zacha (projected 15 goals, 25 assists) and the third line of Tanner Jeannot, Fraser Minten, and Mark Kastelic add grit, with Nikita Zadorov anchoring the back end. Boston’s ninth-ranked offense (3.0 goals per game) leans on these depth pieces against a Detroit squad they’ve beaten in four of the last five meetings, but the road test at Little Caesars—where the Wings are 8-4-1—demands defensive resolve from a group allowing 86 goals already.Derek Lalonde’s Red Wings, meanwhile, counter with a middling 21% power play (13th league-wide) and 27th-ranked defense (3.4 goals against per game), but home-ice energy could fuel a bounce-back. Alex DeBrincat paces the attack with 18 power-play goals team-wide, supported by Dylan Larkin’s two-way play (10 goals, 15 assists) and Lucas Raymond’s recent surge (two goals vs. Boston). The projected forward core of Michael Rasmussen, J.T. Compher, and James van Riemsdyk brings secondary scoring, while Moritz Seider’s physicality—highlighted by his scrap with Kastelic on Saturday—ignites the blue line alongside Simon Edvinsson. Cam Talbot likely starts in net after a mixed outing (24 saves in the loss), facing a Bruins attack that’s ninth in scoring but vulnerable without its stars. Defenseman Shai Buium (undisclosed, out two weeks) is Detroit’s lone notable absence, giving them a manpower edge in this revenge spot.With the Wings favored at -198 moneyline and an over/under of 5.5 reflecting both teams’ defensive frailties—17 of Detroit’s 26 games and 14 of Boston’s hitting the over—this 4:00 p.m. PDT face-off under the Motor City lights tees up high-stakes drama. For the Bruins, it’s about weathering the storm and extending their OT invincibility (undefeated in five); for Detroit, a statement win to halt the slide and reclaim divisional ground. In the NHL’s grind, momentum swings on nights like these.
