Moneyline Pick: Winnipeg Jets (+105)

The Bruins will be wanting to put an end to their losing skid, but the Jets are playing solid hockey lately and should be a decent hockey bet for Dec. 22 to play as an underdog.

In Winnipeg’s last five games, it has held teams to 2.2 goals a game while its offense has also gotten hot, averaging 3.8 goals a game in that same time. Though Boston has had one of the top defenses this season, that hasn’t been the case lately, allowing three goals a game in its last five and falling by an overtime goal in each of its last two games.

Boston will be trying to turn things around, but Winnipeg’s stronger recent play and home-ice advantage should be enough to get the underdog win at home.

Player Prop: David Pastrnak Anytime Goal Scorer (-125)

Pastrnak has been Boston’s most consistent playmaker on offense this season, leading the Bruins in points, goals and assists. He has scored six goals through December so far and is coming off a two-goal game against Minnesota despite the loss.

In what NHL expert predictions expect to be a lower-scoring game, bettors should go with the more reliable scorers and place their wager on him being one of the few to score.
