Bruins vs Penguins Prediction
The Bruins have won both previous meetings against the Penguins this season, both at home by 2-1 and 1-0 and are 8-2 in their last 10 head-to-head matches.
In this Bruins vs Penguins Prediction, the Penguins are coming as -125 home favorites. Both teams have almost the same number of points but the Bruins have four more overall wins but have been significantly weaker on the road and both teams are on the second leg of a back-to-back. Neither team has been in good form lately, as the Penguins are 1-3 in their last 4 games and the Bruins 3-4 in their last 7, so I see no value on either side. Both teams are 9-2 to the under in their last 11 games combined and their two meetings this season had just three and one total goals. Take the under 6 in this one.
