Bruins Pick on Road vs Islanders
For one, the recent history is pristine.
For the other, the recent history is a nightmare.
And on Friday night, the irresistible force meets the movable object when the Boston Bruins visit the New York Islanders at UBS Arena.
Boston has beaten the Islanders in the last four games between the Eastern Conference rivals. But both are in different places entering Friday’s game. The Islanders are in the midst of a four-game winning streak while the Bruins are 2-1-1.
Which means it will be fascinating to make some NHL predictions on this game

While neither team is the reincarnation of the Dynasty Oilers offensively, both can score enough to win. So taking the over 5½ is the smart play.
Moneyline Pick: Bruins (-120) vs Islanders
