Devils at Bruins odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 4, Devils 3

Money line

The Bruins are heavily favored here - and rightly so. I like Boston in this spot.

C Patrice Bergeron has been quiet lately, and he's due to break out down the stretch. However, with an ML price of -260, there's no value here outside of packaging Boston in a parlay.

PASS.

Against the spread

Boston is an awful puck-line team at home as they're 8-25. The Devils are 16-17 ATS on the road and 31-35 ATS overall.

Three of New Jersey's last 6 losses have been by 1 goal, and the price isn't too bad here.

Let's go with DEVILS +1.5 (-112).

Over/Under

There are some trends leaning to an Over.

The Bruins have been decent the last 10 games with 3.3 goals per contest. The Devils are right there with them at 3.2 goals per game.

Both of their two earlier meetings this season cashed Over tickets.

The Over is 6-1 in the Devils' last 7 games as underdogs.

The Over is 6-1-1 in the Bruins' last 8 against Metropolitan opponents.

Let's slightly LEAN OVER 6.5 (-108).
