T.M. Selection: Bruins -1.5

I like the Boston Bruins to win this game against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday. Boston comes into this game off a shocking loss to the Ottawa Senators last time out. Although they lost, they still put up 5 goals. Now, against Anaheim, they'll have Linus Ullmark back in between the posts, who's got a 2-0-0 record this year. In 4 games this season, Boston has scored 21 goals. I don't expect them to keep that up all year, but they are looking very strong on the offensive side this season. Looking at the Ducks, they have really struggled this season. They started their year off with an OT win against the Kraken, but Anaheim now has dropped 3 games in a row, while giving up 17 goals in those games. Boston has been winning 57.8% of face-offs so far this year as well, which makes them the best team in hockey. That will help them win a lot of games if they keep that up. Expect the Bruins to come out hungry off their first loss, especially with them back at home on Thursday.

T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Bruins.
