I am not ready to bet against the Boston Bruins yet. The Bruins defense has been quite impressive heading into this game and they are going to have no issue getting the job done in this game. The Sabres offense isn’t going to score more than a goal, and that will be the difference as they are going to get the job done. Back the Bruins to end up on top and they will cash the puck line.
