NHL Betting Trends
Boston
The under is 6-0 in the last six Bruins games overall. The road team is 5-17 in the last 22 meetings.
Nashville
The Predators are 7-0 in their last seven games versus the Eastern Conference. Nashville is 4-0 in its last four home meetings versus Boston.
Boston
Nashville is playing well again with Rinne healthy and stopping most shots sent his way. The Predators have a deep and talented roster, while the Bruins are still searching for consistent scoring after its top line. I like Nashville here as it has dominated the Eastern Conference lately and is once again proving to be one of the NHL’s top teams.
