Pittsburgh v Boston. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL

Pittsburgh are on a home streak, which they started with three straight wins over New Jersey. Only in the first game did the Penguins have problems, due to a mistake in defense in the third period, but still the opponent couldn't use that opportunity to equalize the score. Mike Sullivan's charges show excellent results at home, with only one defeat in eight games against Philadelphia (1:2 OT).

Thanks to the big number of points they earned, the Penguins moved up to second place in the Eastern Division with 65 points. They are just two points shy of throwing Washington off the top and taking first place for themselves.

Boston had a five-game away streak, in which they lost only to Washington, but it was a crushing defeat (1-8). The team also was dangerously close to being beaten by Buffalo, but the Bruins were luckier in the shootout. The club easily defeated the Islanders (4:1 and 3:0). Their defense is worth some praise because they did not allow the opponent to create many dangerous moments. Away the Bears beat Buffalo with ease twice (2:0 and 5:1). However, the third game turned out to be difficult, and in the end, Boston lost it to the Sabers (6: 4). Goalkeeper Rusk didn't do a good job, stopping only 84% of the shots.
