Pittsburgh Penguins at Boston Bruins
Game Time : 3:05 p.m. Eastern
Money Line : Bruins Pk. -240....6 under Penguins
In this afternooon game I like the Bruins big time. The Bruins are a much stronger team with Jeff Hackett between the pipes.He's 3-1 with them with a save percentage of .926. His play inspires the rest of the team and gives them that added boost of confidence. Meanwhile the Penguins are in disarray. Their leader and owner Mario Lemieux lost it last game as he was assessed 29 minutes in penalities as he got into a fight and was thrown out of the game. They are trying to trade one of their best players in Kovalev and I believe that is sending a terrible message to the rest of the club. They have lost its last four overall ATS and have only one win in their last 8 games . This year after a loss they are 3-11 ATS on the road .The Bruins on the other hand are playing great. They are 4-2 ATS in its last six overall and have gone 7-2-1 in their last 10 meetings with the Penguins. This year they have gone 17-9 ATS overall after a win.I expect to see Thorton and Murray lead the Bruins offensively today. Both are very creative up front and are playing with a purpose as they now feel management has done the right thing in picking up Hackett. Look for a 4-2 or 4-1 win.... ......TAKE THE BOSTON BRUINS E-mail [email protected] for daily newsletter with Hot Plays Best Bets and Write-ups like this.
