Boston Bruins vs. Washington Capitals Betting Picks
The Boston Bruins would love to have that top seed in the Eastern Conference. This is a team that can do some major damage in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and having a home-ice advantage would be a huge lift for them. On the other side, Washington could use points here. Do not be surprised if this is a tight game throughout the night. We like Boston to win this game, but low scoring. We will take the Boston Bruins 3-2 over the Washington Capitals. Therefore our betting pick is the Bruins -155 over the Capitals.
