New Jersey Devils vs. Boston Bruins Prediction
I’m on the Bruins in this game. The Devils have been less effective on the road to begin with this season and the fact of the matter is the Devils just aren’t in great form right now. Boston is the team in far better form right now and I just think this game is Boston’s to lose at home. Give me the Bruins in this one.
