Why We’re Expecting Penguins to Win

The -110 about the Penguins look very attractive when it comes to the Moneyline. We think the Bruins can be beaten, so this is our prediction.

Boston Bruins suffered a fifth consecutive defeat when losing 2-1 in their previous game. This was at home to New York Islanders at TD Garden. Bruins racked up 39 shots but only scored one goal in the process. It was David Pastrnak who found the net.

Pittsburgh Penguins won their last game, beating Philadelphia Flyers at home. It was a 5-4 (OT) win at PPG PAINTS Arena. Erik Karlsson and Evgeni Malkin scored two goals, with Philip Tomasino also on target. Goalie Joel Blomqvist produced a great performance and had 21 saves (.955).

It was a 2-1 win for the Penguins at TD Garden when they last played the Bruins. The Bruins have won six of the previous 10 H2H meetings.
