The Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins meet in NHL action from the TD Garden on Sunday.
The Vancouver Canucks come into this game looking to bounce back from a 4-2 loss at the hands of Columbus last time out. J.T. Miller leads the Canucks in scoring with 19 points including a team-high 7 goals and 12 assists while Quinn Hughes has 15 points with a team-high 13 assists. Conor Garland has 14 points with 5 goals and 9 assists and Bo Horvat has 11 points with 6 goals this season. Thatcher Demko has seen the goal 17 times for the Canucks, going 6-10-1 with a 3.07 GAA and a .904 save percentage this season.
The Boston Bruins will try to bounce back from a 5-2 loss at the hands of the Rangers last time out. Brad Marchand leads the Bruins in scoring with 22 points including team-highs of 8 goals and 14 assists while David Pastrnak has 17 points with 6 goals and 11 apples and Patrice Bergeron has 16 points with 8 goals and a team-high 3 power play goals this season. Charlie McAvoy has 13 points with 10 assists and a team-best +5 plus/minus rating this season.
Vancouver is 10-26 in their last 36 games overall and 0-6 in their last 6 games as an underdog while the over is 5-1-1 in their last 7 games as an underdog. Boston is 17-6 in their last 23 home games and 9-3 in their last 12 games as a favorite while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall.
I could make a case for the plus money in most spots, but I want nothing to do with the Vancouver Canucks right now as this team has no idea which way is up. Boston’s had their own ups and downs this season but they’re the better team from top to bottom here with no drama going on and can focus on playing hockey which is the goal here. I’ll back Boston -1.5 on the puck line here.
