Odds

Boston is a -260 home favorite while Washington is a +220 road underdog. The total for this game is set at 6.5 goals.

Matchup History

Washington’s 2-1 win over Boston on February 11, 2023, made it four straight games without back-to-back winners in this head-to-head matchup.

Trends

Washington is 0-4 in their last 4 Tuesday games and 7-19 in their last 26 games overall while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games following a win. Boston is 42-9 in their last 51 home games and 60-16 in their last 76 games overall while the under is 19-7-3 in their last 29 home games.

Pick

I’m sticking with the Bruins here. Boston’s simply the better team here, and while they don’t have anything technically on the line here, as they’ve beaten the record of wins in a season, I think there’s still some motivation here for Boston to make that record as unattainable as possible and keep the momentum going into the playoffs. I’ll roll with Boston here.
