The Bruins travel to New York tonight to take on the Rangers. These two faced off on January 19 in Boston where the Rangers beat the Bruins who were a -260 favorite. I don’t necessarily want to back either side tonight, but the situation has me looking at the Under. Boston is a -150 favorite tonight but there is more value in the Under currently sitting at -120 most places.
I look for Boston to take this game to a physical level tonight, and be stingy in shot opportunities. If Boston can limit power play opportunities here, the Under has a great shot, and I believe the numbers give it the edge.
Here are some stats/trends to back the play:
UNDER WINS with BOSTON
31-19-3 on the season, which is significant
17-7-1 on the road, and 16 of last 22 on the road have cashed under tickets.
5-0 when revenging a home loss (key situation here)
7-2 when playing B2B
8-4 second half of the season
UNDER WINS with NEW YORK
3-1 when playing a winning team second half of season
12-6 when at home with a total of 6
PLAY UNDER 6 Goals
