How to make Lightning vs. Bruins picks<\/p>\n

After 10,000 simulations of Bruins vs. Lightning, SportsLine’s model is going Over on the total (5.5).\u00a0The Over has hit in three of the last four head-to-head meetings between the teams. The Over has hit in six of the last seven Boston games, and once in the past three Tampa Bay games.<\/p>\n

The SportsLine model is projecting Boston’s David Pastrnak<\/a> to score .50 goals and .81 assists, while goaltender Jeremy Swayman<\/a> will make 23.7 saves and allow just 3.33 goals. Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov<\/a> and Jake Guentzel<\/a> both are projected 0.53 or more goals, while Kucherov is projected to add 1.14 assists. Goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy<\/a> will make 22 saves and allow 2.75 goals as the model projects 6.4 combined goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
