New Jersey Devils vs Boston Bruins prediction

The Boston Bruins should be favored at home in this early start, as they’re the better team and have won 8 of the last 10 meetings against the Devils. However, the Devils have played well over these last couple of weeks, and they’ve done some of their best work on the road, where they’re 13-6-1 on the season. The Devils just took the Lightning to overtime and snapped the Panther’s massive winning streak. I’ll take a stab with the plus money.
