Senators vs Bruins prediction

The Senators continue to compete despite having nothing to play for, and they have the rest advantage. The Bruins are coming off an inspired performance against the Capitals, and who knows what they’ll look like on the end of a back to back. With that said, the Bruins can win the Atlantic with a victory here, and I’d assume that means something. The Bruins have won 4 straight games against the Senators and 7 of the last 10 games overall. A division title means something, but maybe the Bruins don’t want to see the Lightning? Who knows? I’ll still side with the Bruins and the PL for max betting value.
