Senators vs Bruins Prediction

The Ottawa Senators are playing decent hockey as of late, and they’re going to get the edge at home given the struggles of the Bruins. The Bruins have lost seven of their last 10 games and can’t find their offense most nights. With all that said most would still agree that the Bruins are the better team regardless of form and when you can get a favorable price with the better team you take it. I don’t believe the Bruins are going to stay in this rut for long. Give me the Bruins and the plus money for a much-needed bounce-back victory.
