  • The Boston Bruins raised eyebrows around the league when they decided to fire longtime head coach Claude Julien and replace him with Bruce Cassidy, but the B’s have been on cruise control since the move by winning four straight games. The Bruins will look to make it five in a row when they continue their four-game road trip against the Anaheim Ducks tonight.

    Shark Bites
    • The Ducks are 1-6 SU in their last seven games against teams with winning records.
    • The total has gone OVER in eight of the Bruins' last 10 games.
    • The Bruins are 3-8 SU in their last 11 games on the road against teams with winning records.

    The Bruins reversed the dreaded bye week blues on Sunday by topping the Pacific Division-leading San Jose Sharks in a 2-1 overtime victory, becoming only the fourth NHL team out of 20 to earn a win coming out of the bye.

    Anaheim is trending in the opposite direction right now, as the Ducks have gone 3-5-1 in February in the wake of a 3-2 setback to lowly Arizona on Monday. The good news for Ducks fans and bettors alike is their recent dominance over Boston. Anaheim has won six straight games over the Killer B’s, including a 4-3 triumph at TD Garden on December 15.

    The Ducks’ offense has gone ice-cold lately, and there’s only so much their goaltenders can do to counteract the lack of scoring punch. Anaheim has been limited to two goals or less seven times in its previous nine affairs and has scored just five times in the past four contests.

    When the Ducks play in California, UNDER bettors are profiting at a rapid rate. Nine of Anaheim’s last 11 at Honda Center have gone below the closing total.

    Sportsbook Odds & Computer Pick

    NHL Hockey odds makers at Sportsbook had the Anaheim Ducks as -110 moneyline favorites in this betting matchup. Those over under betting saw the line open at 5 at Sportsbook.
