Bruins vs Senators Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Bruins to take down the Senators on the road. With the moneyline currently at +152, I’m placing my bet on the Bruins straight-up.

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

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
