Boston Bruins vs Utah Hockey Club Prediction

The Boston Bruins aren’t having the best week in the world, and I’m not excited to be juicing in their current form. However, we know the Bruins are better than what they’ve shown lately, and it’s just a matter of time before they come out of it. The Utah Hockey Club has its own problems, including being shut out of two of its last six games. At home, this is a place where the Bruins need to stop the bleeding. The price is not that crazy. Give me Boston.
