Boston Bruins vs New Jersey Devils Prediction

The New Jersey Devils are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and this is a talented team on paper. However, I’m not laying big juice with the Devils, who have lost eight of their last 10 games. The Devils have lost their way offensively, and that includes scoring two or fewer goals in seven of their last 10 games. The Bruins have won three of their last four games, and they’ve scored a combined 21 goals in those contests. If that continues, the Bruins should win. The Bruins have also won eight of the last nine games against the Devils. You can do a lot worse than taking a shot with the Bruins and a chance to make 1.6 times your money. Give me the Bruins.
