For a puck line pick, we are going with the Bruins to win and cover. Look for the Bruins to win this one by multiple goals over the Jets.

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.
