Blackhawks vs Bruins Prediction 

Both of these teams have had disappointing seasons this year, but Boston has won two of their last three games, and they are at home. The Bruins are 20-13-6 at home this year, while the Blackhawks are just 7-26-5 on the road. Chicago has been very bad on the road all season, and they have lost 13 of their last 15 games overall. The Bruins have also played poorly over the last few weeks, but their offense has perked up recently, and they should have plenty of success against this Chicago defense. Take the Bruins -1.5 here.
