It’s a smaller NHL night to start the new week, and the clear game of interest has to be the Boston Bruins visiting the Colorado Avalanche.
The Bruins are tied for the most points in the Eastern Conference, and the Avalanche are tied for the second-most points in the West. We also have two offenses that rank among the best scoring units in hockey, and both power plays have been scoring at an incredibly high-rate.
By all means, take that info and run to the over, but if you’d like a more exciting angle, consider this SGP of a pair of goal scorers.
+357 SGP (FanDuel)
David Pastrnak goal (+115)
Any time there’s a game that might be high-scoring that involves the Bruins, David Pastrnak is a natural choice to gravitate toward. Pasta has a goal in 50% of his games this season and shoots the puck more than anyone else on Boston.
The Bruins star has five goals in his last three games with Colorado.
Nathan MacKinnon goal (+115)
You may have guessed it, we’re focusing on the two stars of the game. MacKinnon has 13 goals in his last 15 games and 11 in his past 11 on home ice. He’s scored a goal in four of his last seven meetings with the Bruins for good measure.
Easy does it for us on the ice. We like this game for goals, so why not the most talented players on both sides to chip in? Good luck and enjoy the game!
