NHL Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Penguins vs. Bruins
Pittsburgh Penguins (+146) vs. Boston Bruins (-178) | o/u 6.5 (+104/-128)
The Penguins are a very streaky team and are, unfortunately, on the wrong side as they enter the Winter Classic with a four-game losing streak. They’ve had some injuries on the blue line, with Jeff Petry and Kris Letang possibly out for this game. but they have strong enough forwards to make up for it.
It is hard to find a weak point on this Bruins roster. The offensive unit is near the top, and they arguably have the best blue line in the league, and we know Linus Ullmark is currently the best goalkeeper. The Bruins are overall better than the Penguins, and the possible lack of defensive depth for Pittsburgh will play a factor.
Pick: Bruins 60-minute ML (-178)
