Blackhawks vs Bruins Prediction

In this Blackhawks vs Bruins Prediction, the Bruins are coming as -225 home favorites. The Bruins have been the better team this season but they have back-to-back losses, both on the road, where they scored just one goal in each game. They have been almost perfect at home with a 5-1 record and playing against a bad Blackhawks team sets up a perfect spot for a nice bounce-back win. The Bruins have won five straight games at home and have scored 5+ goals in their last four home games, while the Blackhawks are 1-4 in their last 5 games and winless on the road, while having a terrible history against the Bruins.

Take the Bruins to win in regulation to cut down the big moneyline price to approximately -130.

The Bruins are 8-2 in their last 10 meetings against the Blackhawks and are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in Boston. Over is 7-3 in their last 10 meetings.
