Bruins vs. Blues Prediction and Odds (Boston Fighting to Move to No. 3 Spot in Atlantic Division)
By Matt De Saro
The Boston Bruins take to the road tonight to face off against the St. Louis Blues at the Enterprise Center. Both teams have clinched playoff berths so it's possible that we see less time from the frontline starters as usual. But, the Bruins can improve from their current wild card position in the East while the Blues are fighting to hold on to second place in the Central Division.
No matter how much effort STL puts into winning this game, the Blues are going to have their hands full trying to score against the Bruins’ stout defense. Here are the odds for tonight’s matchup, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

Bruins vs. Blues Prediction and Pick
As I mentioned above, the Bruins have a very scary defense. They remain one of the best in the NHL with 2.68 goals against per game average. Boston has allowed just two total goals in their last four games and is locked in right now. Speaking of locked-in, the Blues' offense has been on fire this season with an average of 3.76 goals scored per game. But the Blues have exploded in the last couple of weeks.
Whereas the Bruins have held teams to two total goals in four games, the Blues have scored an incredible 30 goals in their last five games. This really is a match between an unstoppable force and an immovable object.
So, who budges? Tough call. Either way, I think this is going to be a great game to watch. The difference here I think is going to be the Bruins’ offense. While their defense is the start of the show, their offense is averaging 3.08 goals per game, which should create a ton of scoring chances with a stacked forward unit. I think the Bruins present great odds as underdogs and can easily win this game outright.
Pick: Bruins +110
