Let\u2019s break down my NHL picks<\/a> for Wednesday, February 4.<\/p>\n Bruins vs Panthers prediction<\/p>\n Bruins vs Panthers best bet: Panthers moneyline (-140)<\/p>\n While the Florida Panthers<\/a> haven\u2019t gotten the results they\u2019ve wanted, they have largely played good hockey since\u00a0Matthew Tkachuk<\/a> returned to the lineup.<\/p>\n In the eight games with Tkachuk healthy and available, the Panthers have controlled a 57.43% share of the scoring chances. That is the second-highest mark in the league, trailing only the Lightning, who won seven of their eight games.<\/p>\n They are spending a lot of time on the front foot and getting significantly more chances than they\u2019re giving up.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n That can\u2019t be said of the Boston Bruins<\/a>, who sit 26th with a 45.21% scoring chance share over the same period of time.<\/p>\n Part of that is the penalty trouble they\u2019ve run into, but I\u2019m not sure that can be dismissed. They lead the league in PIMs per game and sit 26th in PK% this season. It\u2019s nothing new; it\u2019s the norm.<\/p>\n Including special teams, the Panthers will likely earn an edge in the shot\/chance department this evening. They might also get reinforcements as the returns of Brad Marchand and Anton Lundell are looming.<\/p>\n Look for the back-to-back Stanley Cup winners to give Boston their best shot in an attempt to get some crucial points before the break.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Bruins vs Panthers same-game parlay<\/p>\n Tkachuk leads the Panthers in high-danger chances and expected goals over the past eight games. He\u2019s creating a lot of looks, and that should continue tonight. He always seems to save his best for the Bruins, averaging 3.7 shots on goal over the past 23 meetings.<\/p>\n The Bruins have had a couple of days off since the Stadium Series game, which should benefit Hampus Lindholm<\/a>. He has been very productive in similar situations, recording multiple shots in six straight following two days of rest.<\/p>\n Bruins vs Panthers SGP<\/p>\n Matthew Tkachuk anytime goal<\/p>\n Hampus Lindholm Over 1.5 shots on goal<\/p>\n Bruins vs Panthers odds<\/p>\n Moneyline: Bruins +120 | Panthers -140<\/p>\n Puck Line: Bruins +1.5 (-200) | Panthers -1.5 (+165)<\/p>\n Over\/Under: Over 6.5 (+110) | Under 6.5 (-130)<\/p>\n Bruins vs Panthers trend<\/p>\n Florida has won seven of the past 10 matchups with Boston.
