Boston Bruins @ New York Rangers

Tonight, 7:00 p.m. ET
Sportsbook odds: Bruins -110, Rangers -110

The Bruins aren’t what they were in 2008-09; they can’t score this year. But that doesn’t mean that they’re a bad team at all. In fact, Boston is playing pretty good hockey right now, with five wins in its last six games, including an overtime triumph in the Winter Classic. The Bruins play stingy defense and the netminding tandem of Tim Thomas and Tuukka Rask works beautifully.

In the Rangers, the Bruins face a similar squad, as the Broadway Blueshirts also play physical hockey and do a decent job keeping opponents off the scoreboard.Sports Betting at the Sportsbook The Rangers are hot/cold, having followed up a four-game winning streak by losing three of their last four games.  Marian Gaborik has been absolutely phenomenal, notching 27 goals and 52 points in 39 games, but he has no help. Gabby is on pace for almost 60 goals whereas none of his teammates is on track even for 20 goals this season.

Because the Rangers lack scoring depth, Boston can key on Gaborik and stick Zdeno Chara on him all night long. As good as Gaborik is, he still shies away from physical play; Chara will intimidate him. It’s also worth noting that stud Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist suffered a stinger during a collision on the weekend; he may still play but he may not be at his best if he does. Pick the Bruins; if they could handle the deep Philadelphia forward corps, they can handle Gaborik and his motley crew.
