Canucks vs Bruins Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Bruins to come out with a win against the Canucks while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -126, I’m placing my bet on the Bruins to win outright.

For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Canucks to cover. Even if the Bruins secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Canucks 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.
