The Boston Bruins have been on an incredible run since the beginning of February and look to continue their winning ways vs the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight. The Bruins will have Jaroslav Halak in net and they’ve won their last five games with him between the pipes. Both teams could be gasses from playing the night before and the Penguins are undefeated at home this season in four games when on the second game of a back-to-back.
The Penguins opened as -135 home favorites with a total of 6.5.

My Best Bets for Bruins vs Penguins
Bruins Moneyline and OVER 6.5
I’m not recommending to parlay these but I do think both will happen because of how these teams fare on back-to-backs and because of how poor Casey DeSmith has played in net for the Penguins. He has routinely allowed a ton of goals and even against the low-scoring Bruins, he could be in trouble.
As long as the Bruins keep winning games, I’m going to back them, especially as an underdog. The Bruins have been one of the best defensive road teams in the league this season (2.58 goals per game) and are 6-2 SU in their last eight away games.
