Premium Pick

Boston has won eight of the last 10 meetings with Tampa Bay and the Bruins can build on the momentum of their thrilling, seven-game series win over Toronto. Boston scored four times in the fourth period on Wednesday, including the go-ahead goal by rookie Jake DeBrusk after Torey Krug had tied it.  Tuukka Rask had 20 saves as the Maple Leafs managed only 24 shots on goal compared to 36 for the Bruins. The Lightning has been off since last Saturday after defeating New Jersey in five games. Andrei Vasilevskiy has a 2.62 goals-against average and .920 save percentage for the Lightning. Rask has been stronger on the penalty kill than Vasilevskiy and, of course, the Bruins have one of the top lines in the league with Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand. The UNDER is 4-0-1 the last five meetings and Boston has won five of the last six meetings at Tampa Bay and the Bruins are 13-3 their last 16 games with two days rest. Boston has gone UNDER four of its last five road games and the Lightning is 5-1 UNDER its last six with at least three days rest. Take the Bruins and UNDER.
