Jeremy Swayman posted 26 saves against Montreal, and the Bruins scored three goals on just 23 shots. Boston took 30 shots toward Carolina’s net, but it wasn’t enough.

Boston has serious injury problems. The Bruins cannot count on defensemen Charlie McAvoy (A14) and Jordan Harris (G1, A1), winger Viktor Arvidsson (G6, A4), and center Casey Mittelstadt (G4, A5), while center Elias Lindholm (G4, A5) is questionable for Wednesday’s clash against Anaheim.

The Ducks continue their six-game homestand
The Anaheim Ducks put an end to their three-game losing streak last Monday. After consecutive road defeats against the Colorado Avalanche 4-1, the Detroit Red Wings 6-3, and the Minnesota Wild 2-0, the Ducks started their six-game homestand with a 3-2 overtime victory to the Utah Mammoth.
Anaheim outshot Utah 26-18 and fully deserved to win. Three Ducks found the back of the net, including Troy Terry (G6, A15), while Alex Killorn made two assists.

Bruins vs. Ducks Pick
Spread Pick for Bruins vs. Ducks
- Anaheim Ducks -1.5 (5 units)
The Bruins outshot the Ducks 42-30 at home. It was a proper back-and-forth firecracker, and we saw backups Joonas Korpisalo and Petr Mrazek guard the cages.
Jeremy Swayman has yet to start three straight games in 2025-26. On the other side, Anaheim hosts Boston on the front end of a back-to-back, so the Ducks need to decide who’ll patrol the crease against Ottawa on Thursday.
Anyway, the Bruins miss some very important players, so I’m backing the Ducks to win and beat the puckline once more. Anaheim is undefeated in four straight encounters with Boston, and the Ducks are 6-1-0 at home this season.
Over/Under Pick for Bruins vs. Ducks
- Over 6.5 (5 units)
I don’t expect to see 12 goals once more, but I have to take the over when the Ducks host the Bruins. Both teams are very dangerous with the man advantage, but they struggle with penalty killing. The Bruins have allowed the most power-play opportunities in the league by far (80).
The Ducks are eighth in the NHL in shooting percentage (12.1%), and the Bruins are right behind them with 12.0%. Three of their previous four encounters have gone over the total. Also, the over is 4-1 in Boston’s last five showings on the road.
