Boston has not enjoyed this road trip, but this team isn't this bad, either. Boston is #9 in the NHL in goals allowed and #7 in penalty killing. They probably should have won or tied at Calgary the last game, but blew a 3-1 lead after two periods. A four-game skid follows a brilliant January in which the Bruins went 8-1-3 and allowed a league-best 1.58 goals per game. They have plenty of talent and are in a great bounce-back spot against a bad Edmonton team. Edmonton is #26 in goals scored, and #29 in goals allowed and #28 on the power play. The Oilers are 5-16 at home. Boston is in bounce-back mode and the Bruins are 47-20 against a team with a losing record as well as 16-2-1 in the last 19 meetings with Edmonton. Take Boston.
