Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: David Pastrnak / Over Shots on Goal / 3.5 at -110 / 70% / Pastrnak averages 4.2 SOG in home games this season, exploiting Detroit’s weak high-danger defense allowing 12 shots per game to top wingers.

Player Prop #2: Brad Marchand / Over Points / 0.5 at +120 / 65% / Marchand’s playmaking surges at home with 1.1 points per game average, boosted by Bruins’ top power-play unit facing Wings’ middling PK.

Player Prop #3: Dylan Larkin / Under Goals / 0.5 at -130 / 68% / Larkin’s goal output drops to 0.3 per game on the road against elite defenses like Boston’s, which limits high-danger chances effectively.

Analysis Summary
Public sentiment leans toward the Bruins, aligning with sharp money indicators and mathematical projections favoring Boston’s home dominance. Following the public here is optimal as reverse line movement is absent and EV supports the favorite without overvaluation. Overall game scoring outlook points to a moderate total, with both teams’ defensive xGA metrics suggesting controlled play rather than a shootout.

Recommended Play
Follow the public with Bruins — strong convergence of metrics and market data confirms high win probability.
