Panthers vs Bruins Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Panthers to defeat the Bruins while playing on the road. Given the current moneyline odds at -123, I’m placing a wager on the Panthers to win outright.

My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Bruins to cover. Even if the Panthers win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Bruins should 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.
