Bruins vs Capitals Pick
Money Line Pick For Bruins vs Capitals
- Bruins (+115) (4 units)
The Bruins look to bounce back from a rough loss, and I see them taking over this one from the first period. The Bruins should create plenty of scoring chances with David Pastrnak, Morgan Geekie, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Bruins should limit the Capitals offense with Jeremy Swayman building off of five starts where he’s allowed only nine goals and blanking the shots on the net while Nikita Zadorov and Jonathan Aspirot help out in front of him by making plenty of big saves. The Bruins should win the game with a strong performance on the road.
Take the Bruins money line as road Underdogs.
Over/Under Pick For Bruins vs Capitals
- Over 6.5 (5 Units)
Both teams have great goaltenders but with the way the offenses have played all season, I see this game being a high-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Capitals, who average 3.12 goals per game, should pile on the goals against the Bruins with Alexander Ovechkin, Dylan Strome, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Bruins, who average 3.29 goals per game, should run up the score with David Pastrnak, Morgan Geekie, Pavel Zacha, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence while creating open shots with effective puck movement as Charlie McAvoy fires shots on the net from the point. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.
Take the Over on 6.5 goals.
