Pick
I’m backing the Bruins here again. Boston’s just the better team and even though this game switches venues in the home and home on the back-to-back, I’m just not looking to go against Boston right now. The Bruins have been crushing teams left and right and I don’t see that changing here. Give me Boston here.
