Bruins Heating Up?

The Bruins have not had the best season, but they are suddenly heating up and have won two games in a row. In the last game against the Florida Panthers, they scored three goals in the third period, and that was enough for the win. David Pastrnak had a strong game, scoring a goal and adding an assist. Jeremy Swayman was in goal and performed well, saving 26 of the 28 shots he faced. 

The stats for this team are a bit shocking, but the biggest issue has been the lack of scoring overall. The Bruins are averaging only 2.71 goals, while their defense is giving up 3.1 goals per game. Looking at the stats, there isn’t an actual strength. David Pastrnak has been the top player, scoring 33 goals and adding 48 assists. Swayman is expected to get the start again in this game. He sits with a 20-21-6 record, and he’s giving up 2.92 goals per game. 

Why the Bruins Will Beat the Senators

• The underdogs have won three of the Bruins' last four games.
• The Senators have lost five of their last six night games following a road win.
• The Bruins have covered the puck line in each of their last 10 games as underdogs.
• The Senators have failed to cover the puck line in each of their last 10 games as favorites against Atlantic Division opponents.
• The Senators have lost the second period in five of their last six home games against Atlantic Division opponents when trailing after the first period.

Can Senators Offense Continue Success

In the last game, the Senators faced off against the Philadelphia Flyers, and the offense was sure impressive, putting five goals on the way to victory. Michael Amaido scored a goal and added an assist to help pace the team, but overall, it was a balanced attack. Anton Forsberg was in goal, and he could have been a little better, giving up two goals on 22 shots, but he still made enough stops to come out on top. Two games ago, against the Detroit Red Wings, the defense allowed them to come away with a 2-1 victory. 

The Senators' offense is averaging 2.88 goals per game, while their defense is giving up 2.81 goals per game. The Senators put up a lot of shots on goal, which ranks them 6th in the NHL. Defenseman Travis Hamonic is dealing with a lower-body injury and is questionable for this game. Linus Ullmark is going to get the start for Ottawa. He has a 16-11-3 record overall and is giving up 2.67 goals per game. The Senators will meet the Maple Leafs, Canadiens, Avalanche, and Devils after this game.

Total Goal Facts

Boston Bruins vs Ottawa Senators Prediction

Give me the value with the underdogs here. The Bruins appear to be finally figuring it out, and there is just too much value with them at this number here. The Bruins stepped up in the last game with the goaltending, and I expect strong goaltending again here. Swayman is giving up 2.92 goals, and against a team that hasn’t been perfect scoring goals this season, that problem will really hurt them here. The Bruins are going to pick up a road win here. Back the Bruins on the money line.
