Rangers at Bruins picks and predictionsPrediction
Bruins 4, Rangers 3
Since Dec. 6, the Rangers have scored just 2.44 goals per game. Over its last 10 games, New York has been yielding more high-danger shots in 5-on-5 play. Recent-game expected-goals figures are bearish on the Blueshirts, especially at the defensive end.
Over their last 4 games, the Bruins have scored 17 goals. And they have the more likable side of the prospective goalie matchup, especially when it comes to recent form.
BOSTON (-130) is the value side in this matinee contest.
No interest; PASS.
The Over has cashed in 3 straight series meetings.
Special-teams output on both sides — the power-play and penalty-kill numbers — spell high-octane input. And Boston has filed a slew of penalties recently (17.8 minutes per game since Dec. 11).
In even-strength play, both clubs are trending toward a lot of quality looks yielded from the slot.
That all makes for goaltenders under duress.
The OVER 6 (-115) has solid value.
