Boston Bruins vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction

The Bruins look like a team that’s given up on the season as they’ve lost nine straight games and now are the worst team in the East. The Bruins are on the road where they have 23 losses. The Habs are coming off two monster-upset wins over the Panthers and control their own destiny for a playoff spot. If the Canadiens want to see the postseason, they need to take advantage of games like this at home. The Bruins have owned the Habs over the years, which includes wins in nine of the last 10 games. However, these teams are currently heading in different directions. Give me the Canadiens and the PL for max betting value.
