The Bruins are a team that has really put the pedal to the metal so to speak recently as the Bruins were able to pull themselves all the way back to second place in the Atlantic Division and that is something the Bruins could easily improve on the year. The Bruins are coming into this game here with a 5 game winning streak as well and that gives them quite a bit of momentum.

This season the Bruins were able to score a total of 2.99 goals a game, but have ended up giving up only 2.45 goals a game. The Bruins were able to convert on the power play at 26.7%, but have killed off 81.2%. The Penguins are sitting in 3rd place in the division and that is going to be something the Penguins could improve on. However, the Penguins are a team that has been playing at a high level as well and the downside for the Penguins is they are also playing in back to back games. The difference is the Penguins are going to be playing a lot better team than what the Bruins are going to be facing in their game.

The Penguins on the year have managed to score 3.45 goals a game, but have given up 3.01 goals a game. The Penguins have ended up converting on the power play at 25.3%, but the Penguins have killed off 80.2%.

The Penguins are coming into this game here with a decent offense that has showed up big lately. However, the Penguins have a hard battle against the Blue Jackets the night before. The Bruins, though, have an offense that has been questionable at times and that can make a difference in this game as the Penguins defense is able to contain the Bruins offense. Final Score Prediction, Pittsburgh Penguins win 3-2.
