Money Line: -130.00 Boston (Home)

Money Line: -130.00 Boston (Home)
Result: Win
Their defense has been there for the Bruins despite losing two of their first three games. Boston has permitted only five goals in three games. The Bruins very well could be 3-0 and we'd be seeing a much higher price. Boston was nipped, 2-1 in overtime, by the host Devils and fell 1-0 to the Islanders on the road in which they outshot New York, 27-17, during their past two games.
I don't see Boston losing a third game in a row especially now that it gets to play its first home game.
The Bruins' offense will come around even without injured David Pastrnak. I believe that happens here.
Flyers goalie Carter Hart is off to a slow start with a 3.66 goals against average. The Flyers are short-handed on the blue line, too. Philadelphia went 1-1 in its last two games both against the Sabres. Buffalo outshot Philadelphia, 77-52, in those two games.
