Bruins vs Flyers Pick
Money Line Pick For Bruins vs Flyers
- Bruins (+110) (4 units)
This line is a surprise considering where both teams are in the standings. Expect the Bruins to take over this game and do so from the first period. The Bruins, who average 3.40 goals per game, should constantly find the back of the net against the Flyers, who allow 3.14 goals per game, with David Pastrnak, Morgan Geekie, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone and creating open shots with speed on the wings and effective puck movement. The Bruins should limit the Flyers offense, which averages only 2.86 goals per game, with Nikita Zadorov and Charlie McAvoy stepping up at the blue line and cutting off angles to the net on the rush while goaltender Jeremy Swayman steps up and blanks the shots on the net. The Bruins should win the game and provide great odds in the process as road Underdogs.
Take the Bruins money line as road Underdogs.
Over/Under Pick For Bruins vs Flyers
- Under 6.5 (5 Units)
Considering the goaltending matchup and the high total, expect this game to be a low-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Flyers should limit the Bruins offense with Dan Vladar, who has allowed only six goals in his last three starts, blanking the shots on the net while Travis Sanheim and Cam York block shots in front of him. The Bruins should eliminate a Flyers offense that has only scored four goals in their last two games with Nikita Zadorov, Charlie McAvoy, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in the neutral zone and defensive zone while goaltender Jeremy Swayman, who has 7.2 goals saved above average, blanks the shots on the net. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.
Take the Under on 6.5 goals.
