Boston Bruins vs. Detroit Red Wings NHL Betting Analysis & Picks (03-12-2023)

Last month the Detroit Red Wings were looking like playoff material. But the Red Wings proved to be unready for NHL betting prime time. Detroit wilted under the hot lights of increased attention. Thus, at the 2023 NHL trade deadline, general manager Steve Yzerman sold off assets for future draft picks. Yzerman is the most sacred name in Red Wings franchise lore. And that has given the impression of Stevie Y being untouchable. Subsequently, fans and gamblers ask when Yzerman will be on the clock. Detroit has improved modestly since Yzerman took over. But the playoffs remain elusive.
