[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Boston Bruins (41-16-15) visit the Florida Panthers (46-20-5) on Tuesday evening. Puck drop from Amerant Bank Arena is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Bruins vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Boston has lost back-to-back games after falling 3-2 against the Philadelphia  Flyers on Saturday. Both of the Bruins goals — by RW Justin Brazeau and LW Danton Heinen — came in the final 10 minutes before the Flyers scored with just over a minute to go to seal the victory.

The Panthers snapped a 4-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Flyers on Sunday. Florida scored in each period with 2 in the 3rd. C Sam Reinhart found the back of the net twice while D Brandon Montour had 3 assists in the win.

The Bruins, who trail 1st-place Florida by 1 point in the Atlantic Division, have beaten the Panthers twice this season, winning 3-2 in OT at home and 3-1 in Florida.

Bruins at Panthers projected goalies

Jeremy Swayman (22-8-8, 2.57 GAA, .917 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Sergei Bobrovsky (32-15-3, 2.38 GAA, .916 SV%, 4 SO)

Swayman has been the Bruins best goaltender this season. His 2.57 GAA puts him 9th in the NHL while his .917 save percentage ranks 2nd. He is 3-2 in his last 5 games and has allowed 14 goals in that span.

Bobrovsky has been not only the best goalie for the Panthers this season, but one of the best in the NHL. His 32-15-3 record is tied for 3rd-best, his .916 SV% is tied for 7th-best, and his 2.38 GAA is the best in the league. He has lost 4 of his last 5 outings and given up 16 goals in that span.

Bruins at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 3, Bruins 2

Moneyline

BET PANTHERS (-125).

The Bruins have struggled while playing on the road recently with a 2-5 record in their past 7 games. They have scored 2 goals or less in 4 of their last 6 games and face one of the best goalies in the league. Florida is 4-2 on its home ice in its last 6 games and seems to have found its offensive stride again scoring 3 or more goals in 5 of its last 7 games.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

The moneyline is a safer play for the Panthers, who have been sporadic over their past few games and face a premier goalie for the Bruins.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 6 (-115).

Boston has failed to hit the Over in 7 of its last 10 games and has scored 2 goals or fewer in 4 of its last 6 games. It has allowed 3 goals or fewer in 7 of its last 10. Florida has failed to hit the Over in 5 of its last game and has scored 3 goals or fewer in 4 of its last 5.

The Florida Panthers hit the road to face the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of their Eastern Conference playoff series Sunday. Puck drop at TD Garden is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Panthers vs. Bruins odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Series: Tied 3-3

The Panthers just will not go away. They scored 4 goals in the 3rd period for a 7-5 win in Game 6. LW Matthew Tkachuk had 2 goals in the game and now has 4 in the last 3 games of the series. The Panthers scored 1st in Games 5-6 and have kept Boston chasing them. However, the Panthers have had an extra gear the Bruins haven’t been able to match late in games.

Boston got 2 goals each from LW Tyler Bertuzzi and RW David Pastrnak in Game 6 and had the lead midway through the 3rd period. The Bruins were 3-for-4 on the power play and outshot the Panthers 34-33, but still couldn’t hold them off.

Panthers at Bruins Game 7 projected goalies

Sergei Bobrovsky (24-20-3, 3.07 GAA, .901 SV%, 1 SO – regular season) vs. Linus Ullmark (40-6-1, 1.89 GAA, .938 SV%, 2 SO – regular season)

Bobrovsky was just sturdy enough in Game 6, stopping 29 of 34 shots. Only 1 goal he allowed was at 5-on-5 with 3 power-play goals and a short-handed tally. He has now allowed 5 goals in 2 starts to inflate his 4.40 GAA deflate his .883 SV%.

Ullmark allowed a season-high 6 goals on 32 shots in Game 6. He has now allowed 10 goals in the last 2 games. Ullmark has a 3.34 GAA and pedestrian .896 SV% in the series. He’ll need to tighten it up if the team wants to avoid a massive upset.

Panthers at Bruins Game 7 picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 4, Panthers 3

Moneyline

In Game 7, anything can happen. So the +185 for Florida looks enticing. But the record-setting Bruins are heavily favored for a reason, and there’s no rhyme or reason why they shouldn’t advance on home ice.

However, we’re not paying -225 on anyone in a Game 7. PASS.

Puck line/Against the spread

Only 1 game in the series has finished within 1 goal, but the Panthers are a great value on the puck line in the event they can pull off the unthinkable. Florida has scored 17 goals in its 3 wins in the series, and they need that kind of game to win. The Panthers are 6-1 in their last 7 road games. I look for a fast-paced, shooting range kind of game.

Take the PANTHERS +1.5 (-140).

Over/Under

The Over has cashed in the last 3 games and 4 out of the last 5 in the series. The Over is 8-2 in the last 10 between the teams and 4-1 in the last 5 in Boston. An Over game is the only chance the Panthers have, and they’re coming.

Take the OVER 6 (-120).

The Boston Bruins try again to eliminate the Florida Panthers in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference playoff series Friday. Puck drop at FLA Live Arena is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Bruins vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Series: Bruins lead 3-2

The Bruins dropped Game 5 at home, 4-3 in overtime, in a game they never led. The teams traded goals until Panthers LW Matthew Tkachuk was able to deliver the game-winner on an open net after Bruins G Linus Ullmark sprawled to his right to make a save after committing a turnover behind his net.

The series shifts back to Florida where Boston dominated the Panthers in Games 3 and 4 with 6-2 and 4-2 victories. If Florida can survive, Game 7 will be back in Boston Sunday.

Bruins at Panthers Game 6 projected goalies

Linus Ullmark (40-6-1, 1.89 GAA, .938 SV%, 2 SO – regular season) vs. Sergei Bobrovsky (24-20-3, 3.07 GAA, .901 SV%, 1 SO – regular season)

Ullmark has been decent with a 2.79 GAA and .913 SV% this series. However, Florida has exposed a weak spot over his glove side. Outside of Game 1, he has allowed at least 2 goals per game. He was great in Games 3-4 in this building with 70 saves on 74 shots.

Bobrovsky was really good in Game 5, stopping 44 of 47 shots. He allowed 5 goals on 30 shots in his first start of the series in Game 4, but he hadn’t started in nearly a month before that. He’ll have to be great again in Game 6.

Bruins at Panthers Game 6 picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 4, Panthers 2

Moneyline

Boston won both games in the series in Florida, and the road team has won the last 4 overall. Boston is 36-16 in the last 52 meetings overall and 21-10 in the last 31 in Florida. They turn out the lights in this series, but it’s not a sure enough thing to pay -175 for the moneyline.

PASS.

Puck line/Against the spread

All 3 of Boston’s wins have been by multiple goals, and they really took it to the Panthers in Games 3-4 in this building. The 4-2 score in Game 3 doesn’t paint an accurate picture because Florida got a couple of late, fluky goals. Boston dominated those games. The Bruins will score early to apply the pressure, and the puck line should cash.

Take the BRUINS -1.5 (+140).

Over/Under

We’re forecasting a push here, and the Over is 3-2 in the series. The Over was 1-1 in the 2 games in Florida. The Over is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings overall between the Bruins and Panthers, but the Under is 9-4-1 in the last 14 meetings in Florida.

It could go either way, so PASS on the total. Head to the Win/Total section, take BRUINS TO WIN AND OVER 5.5 GOALS (+145).

The Boston Bruins try to keep the foot on the gas against the Florida Panthers in Game 4 Sunday. Puck drop at FLA Live Arena is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Bruins vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Series: Bruins lead 2-1

The Bruins dominated in Game 3 from start to finish, winning by a score of 4-2, but it wasn’t that close. Florida got a couple of fluky goals late in the 3rd period to make it look interesting, but they could not crack Boston’s defense or patience for most of the game. The Bruins outshot the Panthers 35-31 and were in control throughout.

Florida tried very hard to agitate Boston with late hits and slashes, but the Bruins wouldn’t take the bait. The Panthers went down 3-0 midway through the 3rd and opted to switch goalies, giving Sergei Bobrovsky his 1st action since March 27. The Panthers were able to score 2 goals in the final 6 minutes – so maybe they go with him in Game 4.

Bruins at Panthers Game 4 projected goalies

Linus Ullmark (40-6-1, 1.89 GAA, .938 SV%, 2 SO – regular season) vs. Sergei Bobrovsky (24-20-3, 3.07 GAA, .901 SV%, 1 SO – regular season)

Ullmark stopped 29 of 31 shots and had a shutout going for the 1st 54 minutes of Game 3. He’s now 2-1 with a 2.69 GAA and .913 SV% in the series. It’s possible the team goes with Jeremy Swayman here to give Ullmark a breather, but the teams will have 2 days off before Game 5.

Alex Lyon allowed 3 goals on 26 shots before being pulled in Game 3. Bobrovsky stopped 8 of 9 shots he saw, and the team seemed to respond after the swap. So Bobrovsky will likely get the nod here. He is 17-29 with a 3.14 GAA and .901 SV% in 52 career playoff games (46 starts).

Bruins at Panthers Game 4 picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 4, Panthers 3

Moneyline

The Bruins have been down 2 centers with Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci battling injuries. The Panthers have been slashing Charlie Coyle trying to get him out of the game somehow, and he’s going to have some bruises when this series is over. With the way the Bruins looked in Game 3, this one could be over in 5 or 6 games.

Take the BRUINS -155.

Puck line/Against the spread

The puck line has cashed in all 3 games in the series, but Florida knows they have to come with everything to get back in it. They lit the lamp twice in 78 seconds to get back into Game 3. So I think this will be a tight game, but I’m not interested in Panthers +1.5 (-190).

Instead, head to the Win/Total section and under the 1×2 and Both Teams to Score 1 or More Goals in Regular Time, take BOSTON TO WIN AND YES (+120).

Over/Under

This part is tough as the Over has only hit once this series. But Florida may be in a sticky tendy situation and have to turn up the heat to even the series. However, Boston’s defense was sweltering for most of Game 3. We’re forecasting an Over cash here, but I’m going to AVOID the total.
