Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 1. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Detroit looks good. But still, they've slipped a lot, which has caused them to drop from the playoffs to fifth place in the Atlantic Division standings. Now the Red Wings have 38 points, and they need to step it up for a playoff spot. If we talk about the past meetings of the team, then after two consecutive defeats, they managed to register a victory. The day before, Detroit managed to beat Nashville in overtime (5:4).

Boston shows great hockey in the current campaign. But as in the case with Detroit, the Bruins have slipped a bit, because of which they lost the lead in the East standings to the Rangers. Now the Bears have 48 points, three behind the first New Yorkers, with a game to spare. We note that after a series of four defeats in a row Boston managed to register two victories - 4:1 over Buffalo and 5:2 over New Jersey.

It is obvious that Boston is the favorite in the upcoming meeting. The Bruins are extremely good, and in the past two matches they showed exemplary hockey, formalizing two confident victories. We think that the Bears are going to extend the successful series, so we suggest not to make anything up and bet on their final victory (taking into account overtime and shootout).
