Bruins vs Panthers Injury Report

The Boston Bruins are without Hampus Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy.

The Panthers will be without Matthew Tkachuk and Brad Marchand, while Jonah Gadjovich is questionable. Aaron Ekblad is suspended.

Bruins vs Panthers Prediction

You can talk yourself into the Bruins and the plus money when you consider the Panthers are down Tkachuck and Marchand, and now Ekblad is suspended for the next 20 games. That’s a lot of production to replace. However, the Panthers are still the better team and playing some of their best hockey over the last two weeks. The road team has also won seven of the last nine games between the Panthers and Bruins.

While snagging a monster upset road win over the Lightning, the Bruins have still lost eight of their last 10 games and haven’t won two straight in over a month. The Panthers look like a team that knows the playoffs are around the corner and are starting to get right. Give me the Panthers and the PL for max betting value.
