Bruins vs Blues Prediction
Boston comes into this matchup after winning three of their last four games and they have scored at least four goals in three straight. The Bruins are 6-8-0 on the road this year, while the Blues are 5-6-4 at home. St. Louis is looking for their third straight win, but they have scored two goals or fewer in four of their last five. I would love to know if Pastrnak will be playing, but I am going to back the Bruins, as I don’t trust the St. Louis offense.
