Bruins Continue to be a Fantastic Wager Under Cassidy

The Boston Bruins have been setting the league on fire since replacing Claude Julien for new head coach Bruce Cassidy, and the Killer B’s can improve to 6-1 since the move with a win over the Dallas Stars in the Lone Star State on Sunday. Sportsbooks opened the Stars as slight +115 moneyline underdogs with a total of 5.5.

  • The visiting team is 6-0 SU in its last six games in this matchup.
  • The total has gone OVER in nine of the Bruins' last 12 games.
  • The Bruins are 0-9 SU in their last nine games on the road after winning their most recent road game.

Boston’s recent run has done wonders for their playoff run, as the Atlantic Division is one of the tightest in the NHL. Brad Marchand has been on a hot streak of late, and the Nova Scotia native now has five goals and five assists in February and a team-leading 61 points.

Stars defenseman Johnny Odouya, who could be moved prior to Wednesday’s trade deadline, is questionable to play this afternoon after missing the last 15 games with a lower-body injury. The veteran has missed 25 tilts this year.

Boston and Dallas have a penchant of playing to the OVER in Texas. In the last four matchups between the squads in Dallas, the OVER is 3-1.
