Pick
I’m backing the Bruins on the puck line here. The Senators caught some lightning in a bottle with their goaltending situation on Monday night as Dylan Ferguson stifled Pittsburgh, but being on a back-to-back in Boston is far from an ideal situation for the Senators to be in. Prior to Monday, the Senators couldn’t stop a beach ball and I’m not ready to jump back on board after one good outing. I think this one’s all Boston so give me the Bruins -1.5 here.
