Ottawa has shown signs of life as of late, but that hasn't translated into confidence that they can pull off a win in a situation like this. The Senators' erratic play has persisted even when they've been on home turf. Since their inception, the Boston Bruins have been the best team in the NHL, and their consistent success has made them the league's most lucrative franchise. If I had to pick one team and one league to bet on, it would be the Bruins and the handicap (-1.5).
- Bruins to win at odds of 1.87
- Bruins to win with handicap (-1.5) at odds of 2.26
