Bruins at Oilers picks and predictions

Prediction

Boston 3, Edmonton 2

Moneyline

Edmonton has allowed more than 3 goals in a game 6 times in February. More than a couple of times that has happened against lesser offenses as well.

Boston has the more disciplined defense, and BRUINS (-140) is a solid play.

Puck line/Against the spread

Six of Boston’s last 9 road tilts have been decided by 2 goals or fewer. There is a lot of juice between these prices. PASS.

Over/Under

This series has hit the Under 6 times in 7 games since 2018. This is a solid price in the market and one worth hitting when Boston and Ullmark are half the equation.

TAKE THE UNDER 6.5 (+110).
