Senators vs Bruins Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Bruins to defeat the Senators while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -105, I’m placing a wager on the Bruins to win outright.

Our projections have the Bruins pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Bruins, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down 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.
