Betting Trends for vs
The loss of Jack Eichel is going to make it difficult for the Buffalo Sabres to have consistency on the offensive side of the puck. The defense is also going to struggle some as they're going to have more pressure on the net in this game than what they normally would as Eichel and Skinner were a great pair on the offensive front and only one of them is in the game limiting the threat. Not to mention the Boston Bruins have a great offense that can actually help them keep the pressure consistent on the net of the Sabres. This consistency is going to pay off as the Bruins are going to bring home a win. Final Score Prediction, Boston Bruins win 5-2.
