Friday night, December 14th brings you an exciting Eastern Conference matchup as the Boston Bruins travel to Pittsburgh to take on the home town Penguins live from the PPG Paints Arena. The Bruins were winners last time out on Tuesday, beating Arizona 4-3, while the Penguins were losers on Wednesday night to Chicago 6-3.
Boston Bruins
This is a quick one game road trip for the Bruins, which is good, because they really have struggled on the road this year. Their 6-7-4 away record leaves a lot to be desired for their extremely loyal fanbase. Besides that though, the Bruins are riding a nice little three game winning streak into Pittsburgh, and a win here would really put some space between these two teams in the all important playoff race.

Boston comes into this game scoring an average of 2.7 goals per game, but over their three game winning streak they scored more than four goals twice. David Pastrnak leads the team in scoring with 21 goals and 17 assists, while projected starting goalie Jaroslav Halak comes into Friday with a 9-4-2 record, a 2.30 GAA and a .930 save percentage.
Injury Report: RW David Backes and LW Jake DeBrusk are both listed as “questionable” for Friday, while C Patrice Bergeron and Ds Kavan Miller, Zdeno Chara and Urho Vaakanainen are all listed as “out.”
Pittsburgh Penguins
The Penguins come into this game losers of two out of their last three games, but they have played their best hockey on home ice this year. This is the start of a three game home stand, where they will also play Los Angeles and Anaheim, so they can really make up some ground in the East with a couple wins here at home.

Free Boston Bruins vs. Pittsburgh Penguins NHL Prediction:
Despite Boston’s road struggles so far this year, they are still the team to beat in this game. Pittsburgh has bee struggling of late, and even on home ice, Boston should be too much for them to handle on Friday night.
Take Boston to win this game on the road. I think it will be fairly low scoring, so make sure you check out the recent betting trends before you place any money of the O/U.
