David Pastrnak has led the Bruins this season with 46 goals, 42 assists, and 307 shots on goal. The projected starting goalie for Boston is Linus Ullmark, who is 33-4-1 this season with a 1.89 goals against average and a .938 save percentage.

Trends

Boston is 7-1 in their last 8 Tuesday games and 22-8 in their last 30 road games. The under is 4-1-1 in Boston’s last 6 games against the Central. Chicago is 10-21 in their last 31 home games and 18-42 in their last 60 games. Over is 5-2 in Chicago’s last 7 games against the East. Boston is 4-0 in these two teams last 4 head to head meetings. 

Pick

Chicago comes into this game after losing three games in a row and four of their last five, but they will be on home ice for this game. Boston has lost two of their last three games and really struggled in their last two games against Detroit, splitting the two game series. Despite the recent losses, Boston is still the best team in the NHL and is miles ahead of where Chicago currently is. Boston is a very heavy favorite to win this game, but I am going to take the under here, with a Chicago offense that has not produced much this season.
