Bruins Have Clinched
The Bruins really don’t have much to play for in this game. They have already clinched the Northeast Division and it is likely they will be the third seed in the NHL playoffs. This is probably the only game in which the Bruins might have a little bit of incentive since the Rangers are probably going to be a playoff team. The Bruins look to have easy games left after Monday as they host the Islanders, Senators and then go to New Jersey. The other thing that makes Boston worth considering in this game with an NHL bet is that they are much better on the road than at home. The Bruins are (24-10-5, 53 points) on the road and (20-13-6, 46 points) at home. Boston has been very inconsistent but they are 5-1-1 in their last seven games. Before this current streak they were 1-3-3 in the previous seven games.
Rangers Should Make the Playoffs
Yesterday’s overtime win was huge for New York. They really should make the playoffs. They have their last three games at home against Boston, Atlanta and New Jersey. Two wins will definitely get them in and maybe even a win and an overtime loss will be enough. The only concern is that the Rangers are just like the Bruins in that they play much better on the road. New York is just 18-20 at home this season.
