Game Preview: Detroit Red Wings vs Boston Bruins

The secret is out on Detroit, they score and they score a lot. The Red Wings lead the league in Goals with 35, 66% of which come from Even Strength play. Fueling those goals are 250 Total SOG, of which 10 players account for 80%. While 10 other teams also have 10 players get 80% of their teams' shots on goal, this represents an opportunity, though a heavy lift, for Boston to focus on limiting Detroit's top lines. Alex DeBrincat has 9 goals on the season, 6 at Even Strength, and Dylan Larkin has 15 points (4G/11A), with a point in each game played and is 2nd in the league in Total Points per 60.
