Bruins at Devils picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 3, Devils 2

Moneyline

The BRUINS (-110) are worth a roll of the dice as they look to bounce back after Moinday’s disappointment in Ottawa.

The Devils (-110) have struggled mightily after a red-hot start, and they’ve been on the losing end in 7 of the last 8 outings. Look for Boston to continue its dominance in this series.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Devils +1.5 (-270) are quite expensive if you would like a little bit of insurance and just cannot trust New Jersey straight up.

If you like New Jersey, just play it straight up for a better value.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-115) is the play here based on New Jersey’s offensive struggles, and the fact it faces a rested Ullmark.

The Devils have cashed the Under in 5 of the last 6 games overall, while going 7-3-1 in the last 11 games at home. The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 against Eastern Conference foes, too.

Bruins at Devils projected goalies

Linus Ullmark (18-1-1, 1.89 GAA, .937 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Vitek Vanecek (12-4-2, 2.45 GAA, .908 SV%, 2 SO)

Ullmark stopped 36 of the 39 shots he faced last time out Monday against the Florida Panthers, bouncing back from a shootout loss against the visiting Los Angeles Kings in his prior outing. He enters 5-0-1 with a 1.63 GAA, .943 SV% and 1 shutout in his 6 starts in December.

Vanecek allowed 3 goals on just 13 shots in 2 periods at Carolina on Tuesday, and he was pulled in the loss. He has received just 2 goals of offensive support in his last 5 periods of work, so the losing lately hasn’t all been his fault.

Bruins at Devils picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 4, Devils 2

Moneyline

The BRUINS (-115) have been red-hot all season, and the team and Ullmark are showing no signs of slowing down.

Boston has won 13 of the last 16 games against winning teams, while going 18-6 in the last 24 against the Metropolitan Division. It is also 7-3 in the last 10 on the road.

The Devils (-105) were running neck-and-neck with the B’s at the top of the Eastern Conference standings for the better part of the 1st 6 weeks, but New Jersey has hit a rough part and the holiday break will do it some good.

Puck line/Against the spread

The BRUINS -1.5 (+185) are worth a roll of the dice for a chance to nearly double up. Boston has covered the puck line in 6 of the last 11 games as a favorite, including 2 of the last 3 on the road.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-125) is the lean, but play it lightly.

The Under is 8-3-1 in the last 12 games against winning teams for the B’s, although the Over is 6-1-1 in the last 8 when playing on no rest. The Over is also 4-0 in the last 4 meetings with the Devils.

For Jersey, it’s all Under all the time, going 15-5-1 in the last 21 games overall, 4-1 in the last 5 at home, 7-0 in the last 7 against Atlantic Division foes and 4-0 in the last 4 inside the Eastern Conference.
