NHL Odds and Betting Guide - Bruins visit Penguins
By: The Linemakers   
Sportingnews.com

Two of the favorites for the Stanley Cup meet Tuesday night in Pittsburgh when the Penguins host the Bruins. Boston is currently a co-favorite to hoist the Cup this season while the Penguins have the third-best odds. Both teams come in playing well, as the Penguins have won five straight contests and the Bruins three in a row. The Bruins, who beat the Senators in a shootout last night, are the underdogs on the road.

Out west, the Pacific Division-leading Anaheim Ducks visit the Northwest Division-leading Minnesota Wild. The Ducks rebounded from a pair of shootout losses to the Coyotes last week to win three straight and are 7-1-2 in their last 10 games. The Wild are nearly as good at 7-3-0 in their last 10 games and are an impressive 9-2-1 at home this season. The Wild are a slight favorite as of this writing.

It is a busy night in the NHL with 22 teams in action. Some other notable matchups include the Sharks visiting the and the Canucks as road favorites against the surging Blue Jackets. The Jackets are still flying a bit under the radar, but they have won five straight games.

The lines are from LVH as of about 10:45 a.m. E.T.

*Denotes goalie start is not confirmed. Goalie starts can be subject to change.
