NHL Betting – Boston at Pittsburgh on Versus Betting Odds. Two teams coming off tough losses meet in Pittsburgh on Monday night in NHL betting as the Penguins host the Boston Bruins. Pittsburgh was routed at home by Minnesota on Saturday while the Bruins blew a 2-0 and lost in overtime to Montreal. Gamblers making an NHL bet may lean toward taking the Bruins in this game.
Crosby is Out
Another reason that gamblers making an NHL bet at Sbg global.com might take the Bruins is that Pittsburgh superstar Sidney Crosby is out. The Penguins have not played well recently with just one win in their last five games and they still are without Crosby. Pittsburgh has some great overall numbers as they are 2nd in the league on defense and fifth on offense. It is hard to take Pittsburgh though in this game without their leading scorer in the lineup.
Hangover for Boston
The Bruins loss on Saturday night was a huge one. Players were dejected after blowing a 2-0 lead and losing to rival Montreal in overtime. The Canadians scored twice in the last three minutes to send the game into overtime and then Montreal won it. The Bruins are now tied with Montreal at the top of the Northeast Division after blowing the game. The Bruins have to get over that loss quickly because they have Pittsburgh, Ottawa, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh again in the next couple of weeks.
