Bruins vs Senators Prediction

The Senators are playing the better hockey, and they’ve had success against the Bruins so it’s not surprising to see them as a favorite. However, the Bruins as home dogs are is hard to pass up, as they’ve seen 12 of their 20 wins come on their home ice. Also, despite the current form, you can argue the Bruins have been the better team this season overall. I’m not sure how this current run for the Senators will last. I’ll take a shot in the dark with the Bruins and the slight plus money.
