Chicago Blackhawks vs Boston Bruins Prediction

I’m on the Bruins here. These are two teams that are starting to play to the back of their cards as the Bruins have started to string some wins together while the Blackhawks have lost three in a row and for the most part, done so in fairly convincing fashion. The price on the Bruins isn’t that bad, so I’m fine laying the moneyline with the Bruins on the road here.
