Devils vs Bruins Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Devils to defeat the Bruins while playing on the road. Given the current moneyline odds at -137, I’m placing a wager on the Devils to win outright.

When it comes to my suggested pick for the puck line, I’d advise taking the Bruins to cover. Even in the event of a Devils victory, this matchup is likely to remain closely contested, 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.
