Final Thoughts
The Bruins are playing some high-level hockey of late. They have won four games in a row and they look like a completely different team than we saw for most of the season’s opening month. Boston hasn’t allowed more than three goals in a game during their current winning streak and I think that trend will continue here. I’ll take the Bruins to get a win as a slight underdog on home ice despite the Senators being rested after not having played a game since November 1.
