Boston Bruins vs New York Rangers Best Picks and Prediction
These are two of the best teams in the entire NHL, but the Boston Bruins have been the better and hotter team. Boston is scoring an outstanding 4.4 goals while New York is scoring 2.91 goals so far. This feels like a great position for the Bruins to pick up another win and continue their hot stretch as they are taking on a tough team.
Linus Ullmark has been dominant this season and should limit what the Rangers can do against him.
Pick: Boston Bruins +115
