Trends
Boston is 4-0 in their last 4 Monday games and 20-7 in their last 27 road games. The under is 7-3-1 in Boston’s last 11 road games. Edmonton is 2-5 in their last 7 games and 0-4 in their last 4 Monday games. The over is 7-0 in Edmonton’s last 7 games against the Atlantic. The under is 6-1 in these two teams last 7 head to head meetings.
Pick
Edmonton has one of the most explosive offenses in the league, but they really struggle to play defense on most nights. Boston is the best team in the NHL and comes into this game on a six game winning streak. Both of these teams are capable of scoring a lot of goals, especially with the Edmonton defense playing poorly. I like the over here.
