The Boston Bruins are having an incredible season.
They lead the NHL with a 45-8-5 record entering Monday, nine points ahead of the next-best team. They have a +95 scoring margin, which is 44 points better than the next closest team. And they’re still getting better, making a pre-trade deadline move to add depth — with more moves potentially on the way.
Heck, even their goalies are scoring these days.
It’s led to an incredible 95 points in the standings through 58 games, which far outpaces their preseason points total of 96.5. They can eclipse that number Monday against the Edmonton Oilers with 23 games left to spare. BetMGM likes them to do just that, favoring the Bruins to win at -140 odds.
Oddsmakers couldn’t have been more wrong about the Bruins, who they didn’t expect to be bad but weren’t exactly the highest on either.
After last year’s first-round playoff exit, Boston had the the 12th best title odds entering this season at +2800. Today, they’re the consensus favorite, holding +450 odds at BetMGM.
