The under is 8-3 in Predators last 11 games playing on 1 days rest. The under is 5-0-1 in Bruins last 6 home games. The Predators are 2-9 in the last 11 meetings in Boston and 0-4 in the last 4 meetings. The road team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. The favorite is 19-4 in the last 23 meetings.

The Nashville Predators are a capable side that’s playing well on the road, but I’m just not in the business of fading the Bruins, as I’ve said all year. The Bruins are not only the best team in the league, but they’re the most profitable for bettors as well. I’ll keep backing the Bruins until they lose me money, and of course I lay the PL for max betting value.
