Arizona at Boston

The Boston Bruins seem to still carry a lot of weight with the oddsmakers and public, despite their slip in play over a year ago. Last year the Bruins won the Presidents' Trophy, amassing the most standing points, but this season they are a marginal playoff team, holding down the last spot in the East at #8. The line is just too stretched out here for this one against an Arizona team that has lost eight straight games. The Bruins have been downright ugly when playing on no rest as they own just a 2-10 record in their last 12 in this spot. It's hard to see any motivation, and the Bruins have been ugly to begin with in this spot, so play on Arizona in this one.
