Thursday's Best Bets
My top picks focus on a home underdog, a home favorite, and a road underdog. Here are the key matchups and insights.
Boston Bruins vs. Ottawa Senators
The Bruins come into this game riding a four-game winning streak. They have been strong at home with a 6-3-0 record at TD Garden, contrasting their 2-4-0 road performance. Ottawa’s home and away records are similar with 4-2-1 at home and 2-3-1 on the road.
The Senators had four days off after a shootout loss to Montreal, which might affect their rhythm early on. Despite losing two of their last three games, Ottawa is still favored. However, the Bruins look poised to pull off an upset at home.
Buffalo Sabres vs. St. Louis Blues
The Blues suffered a heavy 6-1 defeat at Washington last night. Meanwhile, the Sabres will be ready and waiting at home, which could give them an edge in this matchup.
"The Bruins are starting to turn a corner and have a good chance of pulling off the upset on Thursday night."
