Vegas - Boston: NHL match betting tip

Current form

It's hard to say when Boston will come to its senses and start steadily earning points again, but so far there are no prerequisites for this. The team's losing streak has already reached three matches in a row, and in most of them they had to concede with a defeat. The Bruins played away from Ottawa, where they could not cope with the pressure of their opponent, allowing the Senator to realize their attacking potential to the fullest, which led to a 3-6 defeat. Goalkeeper Swayman showed his worst side, and had to be replaced at the beginning of the second period. A similar situation arose in the next match against Tampa Bay, in which they had to concede by a four-goal margin (2:6). Most notably, the Bears scored only 12 shots on Lightning's goal in three periods.

Only Buffalo, far from being the most serious opponent, managed to impose a decent fight. Goalkeeper Korpisalo played well, which allowed him to reach overtime, where he suffered another defeat (2:3). With such a game, Boston could be left without a playoff berth this season. At the moment, the club is only on the 13th line in the Eastern Conference table, and the gap from the eighth position is four points.

Disqualifications and injuries

Lindholm and McAvoy will not be able to participate in the upcoming match.
