Blackhawks vs Bruins Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline bet in this game, our analysis leans towards the Bruins picking up the win. However, given the current odds of -177, I’d advise going with the puck line, as our predictions have the Bruins coming out on top by more than one goal.

For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Bruins to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Bruins to win this one by multiple goals over the Blackhawks.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
