The Boston Bruins and Winnipeg Jets have been flying high for the majority of the 2018-19 season, but both teams will be looking to avoid three-game losing streaks when they collide in Manitoba tonight. Sportsbooks opened the Jets as -120 home favorites with a total of 6.
Both of these teams rank near the top of the league when it comes to the majority of offensive categories, but they’ve hit a bit of a wall of late – especially the Jets. With Halak set to start for the B’s, I think Winnipeg is going to struggle to score against the red-hot goaltender. If I was going to pick a team to win straight up, I would lean toward Boston on the moneyline, but I’m taking the UNDER as my best bet.
The total has gone UNDER in seven of the Bruins’ last 10 games (avg. combined score: 5.5).away The Jets are 0-5 SU in their last five games as favorite.home The Bruins are 6-2 SU and 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as underdog.away
