Bruins vs Devils Predictions and Picks
The Bruins battle the Devils in this Atlantic versus Metropolitan matchup. Boston is 1-8-1 in their last 10 games and is tied for the worst record in the conference. With four games left in the season, they are basically playing for draft positioning. The Bruins rank near the bottom of the league in special teams and goals against.
In their game against the Sabres, Boston led 2-0 after the first period but gave up the lead twice in the second and then lost 3-0 in the third period. The Bruins were outshot 37-20 and went 1-for-1 on the power play. While Boston did well with blocking shots, it wasn't enough. The Bruins will look to maintain the lead better and get more consistent zone time.
The Devils are 5-4-1 in their last 10 games and want to keep the winning momentum going all the way into the postseason. New Jersey is in the top five in special teams play, fourth in goals against, and the offense is middle of the pack. Jesper Bratt leads the team in assists and points.

Best Bet: New Jersey Spread
The Bruins' offense is struggling, and even when they have a good start to a game, they find a way to lose. The Devils are tuning up for the playoffs and playing well on both sides of the puck. Although the Bruins have been successful head-to-head against the Devils, these teams are currently heading in different directions, and the Devils should secure a solid defensive win.
