Boston Bruins vs New York Islanders Prediction
The Bruins are coming off a strong week that makes them worth a look in this spot, but they also have to prove they can win on the road. The Bruins have lost 4 of their 5 road games. I’ve faded the Islanders a lot dating back to last season, but they’re coming off two strong wins, and they’re at home where they’ve won 4 of their 6 tries. This could be a turning point for the Islanders. The price isn’t too crazy. I’ll ride with the home team, mainly due to the Bruins struggles away from home.
