The President Trophy winners now have an excellent opportunity to close out the series in Game 5 at home, where they are 8-2 in their last 10 home games.<\/p>\n<p>[sc:NHL240 ]This series continues to be dominated by special teams play. In Game 4, the Bruins&#8217; Torey Krug scored on the power play, Boston\u2019s fourth power play goal in the series. Boston leads all 16 teams in the playoffs with a 40% power play clip, converting four of their 10 total opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>After a shutout loss in the series opener, the Bruins have now scored at least three times in each of their last three games, while containing Detroit\u2019s offense. Boston has allowed the fewest goals (4) in the Playoffs with Vezina Trophy candidate Tuukka Rask between the pipes. Rask, who turned away 35 shots in Game 4, has the highest save percentage among goalies with at least four games played in the Playoffs with a .966 save percentage.<\/p>\n<p>Rask will have to be in great form again for Game 5 at home, as Detroit seemed to have their way against him whenever they play at TD Garden. Boston is 2-4 in the last six home games against the Red Wings.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Detroit Red Wings<\/h3>\n<p>After a disappointing loss in Game 4, in which they saw their 2-0 lead slip away, the Red Wings are now faced with the difficult task of winning three in a row against Boston in order to advance to the next round of the Playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Mike Babcock certainly knows that the team\u2019s offense must come to life for Detroit to have a puncher\u2019s chance of upsetting the Bruins. The Red Wings, who are obviously feeling the absence of the Daniel Alfredsson in the last two games, have been outscored by Boston 10-4 in the series.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Luke-Glendening-Torey-Krug-NHL-Boston-Bruins-Detroit-Red-Wings.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21202\" alt=\"Luke Glendening, Torey Krug, NHL, Boston Bruins, Detroit Red Wings\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Luke-Glendening-Torey-Krug-NHL-Boston-Bruins-Detroit-Red-Wings.jpg\" width=\"594\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Luke-Glendening-Torey-Krug-NHL-Boston-Bruins-Detroit-Red-Wings.jpg 594w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Luke-Glendening-Torey-Krug-NHL-Boston-Bruins-Detroit-Red-Wings-250x174.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Making matters worse is Gustav Nyquist\u2019s untimely slump. The youngster was expected to be one of Detroit\u2019s weapons in the series but hasn\u2019t scored a goal yet in four games.<\/p>\n<p>Even the surprise return of Henrik Zetterberg to the lineup in Game 4 did not pay off dividends for the Red Wings. Zetterberg missed his only shot on goal in 19:34 of total ice time.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Wings are 4-0-2 under in their last six road games.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>The Bruins will send Detroit packing in Game 5 by at least two. The Red Wings are simply too banged up to stand a chance in stopping the seemingly stronger, bigger, and more determined Bruins squad.
