BETTING TRENDS

Boston are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Boston's last 7 games.

Los Angeles are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games.

The total has gone OVER in 4 of Los Angeles' last 5 games at home.

Prediction

The Bruins have the #7 defense in the NHL and are allowing 2.1 gpg in their last 10 games. The Kings are ranked #8 in defense and are allowing 2.6 gpg in their last 10 games. This should be a close and defensive game so I'll take the under.

PICK: Under 5.5 (-125)
