Bruins vs Blackhawks Prediction
I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams, but somebody has to win. I’ll side with the Bruins at home. The Bruins have won eight of the last 10 games against the Blackhawks. The Blackhawks have just seven road wins, while the Bruins have seen 20 of their 32 wins come at home. The Bruins also upset the Hurricanes and Devils recently, showing there’s still some fight in there somewhere. The Blackhawks have been dead in the water for months. Give me the Bruins if forced to pick, and of course, I’ll take the PL to shave down the price.
