Boston Bruins vs Edmonton Oilers Betting Odds & Prediction

These teams don’t meet often, however, when the Oilers and Bruins go up against each other. It’s the Bruins who come out on top. Winning 10 of the last 11 games they played and 4 straight in Edmonton. To find the value in this game, you will have to place your bet on -150 (Boston Bruins) with the moneyline or 2/1 odds the Bruins will win in regulation time. My prediction is the Bruins will win this game 3-1. However, I risk 1 unit taking 2/1 odds on Boston winning in regulation time and 1 unit with the moneyline that Boston Bruins will win this game.
