Boston at Pittsburgh

Boston looks to rebound from a 4-1 loss in Game 2 of their back-to-back with Pittsburgh here. There's no doubt that Pittsburgh is feeling it right now, having put up 25 goals on their current six-game winning streak. How sustainable is this, though? This will be the Penguins' fifth game in seven nights, and will they be as motivated as Boston here? The Bruins are coming off an embarrassing defeat, back-to-back losses, and losses in four of their last five. Which team is more in need? Due to the directions of these clubs, we are getting line value on the struggling visitor. Let's not forget Boston is a .500 club on the road and a winning team overall. They get a lot of shots on goal, more than the Penguins. Dating back to the start of the 2018 season, Pittsburgh is just 10-14 against the puckline after a home blowout win of 3+ goals. Under Bruce Cassidy, Boston is 10-2 against the puckline on the road after having lost four of their last five games. Take Boston to at least keep this close. Also, take the UNDER. The Bruins are 16-10 to the UNDER this season, including a perfect 5-0 in their last five games. Home teams off a 2+ goal blowout win, playing on back-to-back days, are 68-35 to the UNDER. Extremely tired teams having played 8+ games in the last two weeks are 58% to the UNDER. Since last season, Boston is 44-27 to the UNDER on the road vs. good offensive teams (those averaging 2.9+ goals per game). Back the Bruins on the puckline and also play the UNDER.
