Boston has lost four in a row, scoring just five total goals in those games. So now we are taking them to win by 2+ goals? Yes! Let's look at those four games in more detail. The first one was at Ottawa in which the Bruins were a +205 underdog. They lost by one goal which isn't bad. They faced Ottawa again the next night, again as an underdog and again lost by just one goal. After that they went to Buffalo, again as an underdog and lost by a goal. Finally, they faced Montreal on Thursday at home and lost by a goal. Really, that last game is about the only one you would have expected them to win. So, it's not as bad for Boston as it may appear. At home, they are actually a good team with a 4-3 record. They are holding oppnents here to 1.6 goals per game. Buffalo is scoring 2.4 per game on the road while allowing 3.4 per game. Over their last five games they have dropped to 1.4 goals per game scored. We like this spot and go for the gold on a big 2-to-1 payout on Boston.
