Should We Go Over or Under the Total?

There’s a great opportunity to bet on Over 5.5 goals, especially when you consider the attractive -115 available. Wager on the Bruins and the Capitals to exceed this total.

Bruins Are 7 From 10 on the Head to Head

Boston Bruins were beaten in their previous game and this was on the road at Amalie Arena. Tampa Bay Lightning claimed a 3-1 win. Linus Ullmark made 28 saves (.933), with Danton Heinen being the only player to score.

Washington Capitals have won three consecutive games at home. In their last appearance, they suffered a 5-1 road defeat against Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena. Caps managed 24 shots and Nic Dowd recorded the only goal.

The last encounter between the Caps and the Bruins saw the former win. It was a 3-0 scoreline at TD Garden. The past 10 games between the teams have seen the Bruins win seven times.
