The Penguins are clearly the hotter team, winners of four straight and 8-1-1 in their last 10. Yet the opening line said they’re basically equal to the Bruins, who have gotten the sharp action and are now moneyline favorites. This talented Boston squad has underperformed and needs a statement win if they’re going to hold off the Rangers in the East. They’ll get it tonight.

Take the Bruins on the moneyline and the over.
