Boston Bruins at Chicago Blackhawks Betting Prediction

Boston is the better team on both sides of the ice and should continue dominating. They are 18-8-3 on the road so far. There is a bit of a difference on the defensive side of the ice in their last four games as the Bruins are allowing three goals while the Blackhawks are giving up 4.3 goals in that stretch.

Boston is currently 22-36 on the puck line this season, while Chicago is 30-29 against the spread so far. We should be in for an exciting match. Go with the Boston Bruins to dominate on the road and cover the puck line.
