Blackhawks vs Bruins Prediction
The Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks face off on Wednesday in an NHL showdown at TD Garden.
Blackhawks on Tired Legs?
The Blackhawks might have tired legs, but they have to feel good about how they looked on Tuesday night. The Blackhawks faced off against the Pittsburgh Penguins and they didn’t really look good until the 3rd period when they scored three goals on the way to the victory. Jason Dickinson and Nick Foligno both finished with a goal and an assist. Corey Perry also had two assists. Petr Mrazek was peppered all night with shots but he saved 38 of the 40 he faced. In this game,

- The 'Over 1.5 Goals Period 2' market has hit in each of the Blackhawks' last 10 Wednesday night games.
Bruins Kick off 100th Year
The Bruins are kicking off their 100th year on Wednesday and there is a lot of pressure on them to have success. Gone from the Bruins is Patrice Bergeron which means that Brad Marchand is now the captain. The Bruins ran into some cap troubles this offseason and that means they have lost some key players. Taylor Hall was shipped off to the Bruins and not having him on this team is a big loss. One of the keys for this game is going to be Charlie McVoy who needs to lead the Bruins defense.

Shane’s Free Pick
The Bruins are going to have little issues in this game. The Blackhawks are going to be playing their second game in as many nights and they are going to really struggle here. The Blackhawks defense is a big issue, and they are going to give up five or six goals here. The Bruins are going to have no issue finding the back of the net and that will be the difference as Boston gets the job done. Back the Bruins on the puck line. I am also betting on the Bruins -2.5 to cash.
