NHL Picks: Expect Bruins to Bounce Back vs Senators
The Boston Bruins and Ottawa Senators will meet for the first time in an Atlantic Division tilt when the two clash on Thursday. Boston leads the division after its recent hot streak, winning five of its last six, but the Senators are on the opposite end of things. Ottawa is last in the division seven points out of seventh, though it has won three of its last five.
Despite them being on the road, the best NHL bet is to still take the Bruins in a bounce-back win.

Bruins vs Senators Moneyline Pick: Bruins (-135)
Though the Bruins will be on their second game of a back-to-back, they should still be a solid NHL bet to bounce back and pick up the win on the road over the Senators.
Boston has been solid on the road with a 13-5-6 record, and outside of its most recent late-game loss to Carolina, it has remained dominant. The Bruins have averaged 4.6 goals a game in their last five games while holding teams to two goals a game in that same time.
Ottawa has been solid but struggling at home, dropping two of its last three. Though the Senators gave up seven goals in one game despite scoring four, they lost the other after offensive issues, managing just one goal.
The Bruins also have the edge in goal, with expected starter Jeremy Swayman ranking fourth in the NHL with a .923 save percentage. With Ottawa also struggling to kill penalties, doing so at a 73.6% rate four fourth-worst in the league, and Boston’s power play a top-five unit, the Bruins should be your online betting pick tonight.
Bruins vs Senators Player Prop Pick: Brad Marchand Over 1.5 Points (+135)
Marchand is second on the Bruins in points, averaging nearly a point a game with 46 in 47 games, and his production has increased even more in recent games.
In Boston’s last five games, Marchand has notched at least two points in three of them, while he has six multi-point games so far this month. Marchand has been solid on the road as well, with two of those multi-point games coming on the road and 20 total points in 24 road games this season.
In a game where the Bruins should bounce back with more offense once more, Marchand should be a good NHL player prop bet to get involved yet again.
