Bruins at Utah Hockey Club picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 5, Utah Hockey League 4

Moneyline

The BROWN (-125) are actually a pretty strong value, all things considered.

While the Utah Hockey Club (+105) has certainly been a great story early in the season, it has allowed at least 3 goals in 4 straight, and 4 or more goals in 3 of its previous 4 games.

It won’t be easy for Boston going into the gritty Delta Center as the atmosphere there has been absolutely electric so far, the B’s are a top team and they won’t let things get away from it.

Puck line/against the spread

The Utah Hockey Club +1.5 (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return if you want a little insurance. That’s too expensive. If you love Utah, get behind it right away.

PASSAGE.

Top/Bottom

MORE THAN 6 (-110) is perhaps the best form of play on the board.

Utah has hit the Over in four of five games thus far, lighting the lamp four or more times in four of five games, while the defense and goaltending have allowed three or more goals in four straight games.

For Boston, the Over has won four of five games, with the B’s going for 4.0 goals per game (GPG) while allowing 3.6 GPG so far.
