In this Flyers vs Bruins Prediction, the Bruins are coming as -160 home favorites. The Bruins have been the better team this season and have been the best home team in the Eastern Conference. They have been red-hot lately, with a 9-2 record in their last 11 games and have seven consecutive home wins. On the flip side, the Flyers have been struggling lately, with a 2-9 record in their last 11 games and are on the second leg of a road back-to-back. They have a weaker offense, defense and power play, so I expect an easy win for the home side in this matchup. Ride the hot hand and the better team playing at home, so take the Buins on the moneyline in this one.
