LiontipsPittsburgh - Boston: betting tip (kef 2.60) and bets on the NHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
The match on March 8 on the ice of the PPG Paints Arena turned out to be dramatic for Pittsburgh. The Penguins eventually lost to Philadelphia, 3:4 in shootouts, although everything looked pretty optimistic during the meeting. Without Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, the team started the game unexpectedly confidently. Already in the first period, Tommy Novak realized the majority and opened the scoring. In the second period, the hosts took the initiative altogether: Riccard Rakell and Erik Karlsson quickly brought the advantage to 3:1, and it seemed that the match was moving towards a calm victory.
But hockey is a stubborn game. The Flyers did not agree with this scenario: first, debutant Alex Bump scored, then the score was equalized by the Denver Barks. The third period and overtime were tense, but there were no goals scored. The fate of the meeting was decided by shootouts, where Trevor Zegras scored the only accurate shot. The Penguins are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference with 76 points.
Current form
But the mood in Boston is completely different. On March 7, the Bruins defeated Washington 3-1 on the TD Garden ice, extending their impressive streak of home wins to twelve. The first period turned out to be cautious: the teams looked at each other more closely. But in the second segment, Boston added speed. Pavel Zacha made the most of the passes from Charlie McAvoy and David Pastrniak. However, I didn't have to rejoice for a long time — Aliaksei Protas quickly regained his balance.
The third period was decisive. Viktor Arvidsson caught his opponent on the counterattack and put the hosts ahead, and at the end of the meeting, Ilya Lindholm sent the puck into an empty net after Pastrniak's pass. Separately, it is worth noting Jeremy Sweiman — the Bruins goalkeeper blocked 22 shots and once again confirmed his reputation as a reliable last line. Boston is currently eighth in the Eastern Conference table with 75 points.

The confrontation between Pittsburgh and Boston is always a separate story. The teams have met hundreds of times, and the overall victory balance is close to even. However, in recent matches, the Bruins have had a slight advantage, having managed to win several meetings in a row. The main problem of the owners is personnel losses. Crosby is out due to injury until the end of March, Malkin is missing the game due to suspension, and Philip Hallander, Jack St. Ivaney and Caleb Jones complete the list of absentees. In Boston, the situation is the opposite. The team looks fresh, the key players are healthy. If you look at the form and compositions without unnecessary emotions, the picture is quite obvious. Boston now looks like a more complete and balanced team.
Our prediction is that Boston will win in 2.60
