Boston’s defense has been a mess

The Bruins are having a rough season despite their offense stepping up and scoring 3.20 goals per game. David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha have combined for seven goals and 15 assists to lead the top line but the rest of the offense has stepped up as well. Morgan Geekie, Elias Lindholm, and Casey Mittelstadt have combined for 12 goals and nine assists, while defensemen Charlie McAvoy and Mason Lohrei have added one goal and seven assists from the point to open up the offense.

The offense has stepped up but the defense has let them down, allowing 3.50 goals per game with 13 goals in the last three games. McAvoy and Lohrei have led the top two pairings but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net at will. The bright spot has been the play of goaltender Jeremy Swayma,n who has a .910 save percentage and a 2.85 goals-against average on 188 shots with 2.0 goals saved above average.

The Senators are slowly climbing the standings with their offense leading the way, scoring 3.33 goals per game with nine goals in the last two games.

Bruins vs Senators Pick

Money Line Pick For Bruins vs Senators

  • Senators (-170) (4 units)

The Senators have found their footing, and I see them taking over this game from the first period. The Senators, who average 3.33 goals per game, should pile on the goals against the Bruins, who allow 3.50 goals per game, with Dylan Cozens, Shane Pinto, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick passes. The Senators should limit the Bruins offense with Jake Sanderson, Artem Zub, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Linus Ullmark to step up and make plenty of big saves. The Senators should win the game with a dominant performance on their home ice.

Take the Senators money line as home Favorites.

Over/Under Pick For Bruins vs Senators

  • Over 5.5 (5 Units)

Both teams have great offenses, and I see this game being a high-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Bruins, who average 3.20 goals per game, should pile on the goals with David Pastrnak, Pavel Zacha, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Senators, who have scored nine goals in their last two games, should run up the score against the Bruins, who have allowed 13 goals in their last three games, with Dylan Cozens, Shane Pinto, Tim Stutzle, and the rest of the forward unit crashing the net on the rush and creating open shots with effective puck movement while Jake Sanderson and Artem Zub pick apart the Bruins from the point. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.

Take the Over on 5.5 goals.
