Bruins vs Blackhawks Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Blackhawks to come out with a win against the Bruins while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at +130, I’m placing my bet on the Blackhawks to win outright.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Blackhawks winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Blackhawks straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 5.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
