Penguins vs Bruins Prediction

I’m on the Penguins here. Both of these teams are eliminated from playoff contention and have been disappointing this season, but the Penguins have at least been showing up down the stretch and have been a lot more competitive. The Bruins just look like a team that’s been playing out the string since the trade deadline. I’ll roll with the Penguins at home in this one.
