Boston at Vancouver

Boston is off to another strong start with talent and balance at #13 in goals allowed, while the offense is top 10 in goals scored and on the power play. The #1 line of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak continues to sizzle, combining for 16 goals and 36 points the last six games. The team has scored 26 goals the last six contests, allowing only 15. The Bruins are 21-6 after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. They face a Vancouver squad that is home from a grueling six-game road trek. The defense is weak at #20 in goals allowed, while the offense is below average at #17 in goals scored. Vancouver is on a 17-37 run at home, plus the Canucks are 21-44 playing on one day of rest. Take Boston.
