The regular season in the NHL is almost over, this meeting for both teams no longer has any significance in terms of the tournament struggle. Boston has been extremely unsuccessful this season, the team is in last place in the Eastern Conference, only in recent games ‘bears’ began to win more often, but this is only due to the lack of motivation in the rivals, as all playoff spots are already distributed.
New Jersey was able to secure their participation in the Stanley Cup, which has become a rarity in recent years. After that, the Devs slumped noticeably in results (the team has 3 straight losses), but 3rd place in the Metropolitan Division is still not going anywhere from New Jersey, Sheldon Keefe can rotate the starting lineup.
Betting on the outcome is too risky in the last rounds of the NHL, but the efficiency in such games is noticeably higher than usual, the last face-to-face meetings between Boston and New Jersey were already rich in pucks.
Prediction: at least 6 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 5.5" bet, odds 1.59
