Bruins vs Rangers Prediction

Usually, I’m going to side with the home team in near toss-up spots, but the Bruins have been hit or miss lately, and the defense hasn’t been great. The Bruins have allowed a combined 13 goals in their last two games alone. The Rangers have turned their season around over the last month, and that includes earning points in eight of their last 10 games. The Rangers have also won four straight games against the Bruins, which includes a 2-1 win a month ago. I know the Bruins play their best hockey on their home ice, but the value is with the Rangers and the slightly cheaper price. Give me the road team on Saturday afternoon.
