Boston Bruins Betting Preview

The Bruins just had their three-game losing streak snapped with a 4-0 shutout of their own over the Tampa Bay Lightning on the road. They have gone 2-3 in their last five games, so not a lot of positive momentum to work on.

Boston looked sharp here, especially deflating one of the best offensive teams in the league. Jeremy Swayman defended against all 26 shot attempts and Cole Koepke stood out with his two goals.

Tampa Bay did succeed in more faceoffs with 31 and had a percentage at 53.4. However, this was about all they had going for them since the Bruins dominated in every aspect.

The Bruins are getting 2.71 goals and firing off 27.5 shots per matchup. On defense, they allow opposing teams to average 3.12 goals and 28.4 shot attempts a game. This margin is slightly negative, which explains why they are battling to stay above .500 on the season.
