Boston Bruins Vs Pittsburgh Penguins NHL Betting Preview
The Pittsburgh Penguins are sinking like a stone at the moment. While the Pens may be tight defensively, they are going up against a Boston Bruins team that knows where the net is, which makes the OVER/UNDER a pretty tough one to call.Why Bet on the Boston Bruins
The Bruins (17-9-4) have been a very pleasant surprise this season, and appear to be a team that is getting better as the season goes on. They are coming into this game with a 6-1-3 SU record in their last 10 games, which included a 3-0 win over the Penguins a few days back. The Bruins have feasted in teams that struggle to score, and are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games against opponents that scored 2 or fewer goals in their previous start. It has been domination against Eastern Conference opposition that has lifted the Bruins this season, and they are 12-2 in their last 14 games versus teams in the east. Boston is averaging 3.2 goals per game, while conceding an average of 2.6.
