NHL Betting Pick on Pittsburgh at Boston

This Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Penguins visit the Boston Bruins, with the puck set to drop at 7:30pm Eastern time. The Penguins (30-20-8, 68 points) are in fourth place in the Metropolitan Division and are coming off a 4-3 win in Buffalo on Sunday. The Bruins (32-22-6, 70 points) are in second place in the Atlantic Division. They last played on Monday, a 6-4 loss at home to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

NHL Betting Pick on Pittsburgh at Boston and Game Info

When: Wednesday, February 24, 2016, 7:30 PM ET Where: TD Garden, Boston, MA TV: NBCS, TVA Radio: WBZ-FM/98.5 Live Stream: NESN.com NHL Odds: XXXX

Why Should You Bet on the Penguins?

As great as the B’s are on offense (third in the NHL with 3.0 goals per game), their defense has been positively porous at even strength (#23, 2.8 goals per game). Their loss to Columbus is a perfect example, as four goals on offense should be enough to win just about every game. The problem is that the Blue Jackets were able to find the back of the net six times. The Penguins score 2.6 goals per game (19th in the NHL), but the talent on the roster can light the lamp at just about any time.

Why Should You Put Your Money on Boston?

When the B’s are firing on all cylinders, no one else in the league can skate with them. If you take a penalty, you’re really asking to give up a goal, as the Bruins are fourth in the NHL on the power play. Even though they lost to Columbus at home, TD Garden is normally a place where the Bruins put dominant hockey on display. Pittsburgh’s inconsistency on offense and defense this season will make them vulnerable every time the Bruins skate down the ice.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

I like the Bruins to get off the schneid at home and control the Penguins. I’m picking the Bruins to win this one, 4-2.
