Bruins vs. Panthers Prediction

I’m on the Panthers in this one. I keep giving the Bruins the benefit of the doubt that they can’t be struggling as mightily as they have been but they continue to let everyone down and now losing streaks are becoming a regularity for the Bruins, which isn’t something we’ve had to say before. I thought earlier this year, that Boston would come out and get their revenge after Florida bounced them from the playoffs last year. Instead, Florida won both meetings by a combined score of 10-7. I think maybe we just have to say for now that maybe, the Bruins just don’t have it. Give me the Panthers in this one on the ML.
