Boston Bruins (ML) ..

While the Bruins have not been very good recently, losing five consecutive games, this is a big game for them to shift momentum back in their favor. Boston most definitely could have won at least one of these five losses. It was up 3-0 vs. the Leafs and up 2-0 vs. VGK. I expect a big response this game for the Bruins, who have loved to play at Pittsburgh recently, winning three consecutive here.

Now, the Penguins are also a team that I think will heat up coming the end of the year. However, this is not the spot for them. They are dead last in the Metropolitan Division and don't have the fire power that they used to to spark any big runs. Crosby & Malkin are aging and no new star has emerged yet. I don't see them keeping up with the Bruins today. Hammer Boston.

Score Prediction: 4-2 Bruins.
