Bruins

Bruins and Blueshirts Battle for Crucial Points

Grade B+: Rangers Moneyline (-124)

The Bruins, desperate to snap a two-game losing skid, host the Rangers, who have quietly built some momentum, after an awful run from November 21st through the end of 2024. Boston's offensive will be tested against a Rangers squad that has seen Igor Shesterkin return to form, boasting a .920 save percentage over his last five starts. Historically, the Rangers have given Boston trouble, winning three of their last four meetings, and with Artemi Panarin leading the charge, New York has the edge in scoring depth. With both teams battling for wild card positioning, expect the Rangers’ superior goaltending and special teams play to be the difference.

Bruins Look to Defend Home Ice in Tight Battle

Grade B: Bruins Puckline -1.5 (-243)

The Bruins, looking to shake off a two-game losing streak, will rely on their physical play and home-ice advantage to slow down a Rangers team that could be playing hockey in June. The Bruins will need big performances from David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand to generate offense against Igor Shesterkin, who has been stellar in recent outings. Meanwhile, New York’s attack, led by Artemi Panarin, has found success against Boston, scoring at least three goals in three of their last four meetings. With both teams fighting for critical playoff positioning, expect a tightly contested game, but Boston’s experience and defensive discipline give them the edge to cover the puck line in a low-scoring affair.
