The Boston Bruins 4-game winning streak came to an end on Tuesday, after falling to the Toronto Maple Leafs, 6-4. Tonight however, they should start another one when they host the bottom-dwelling New Jersey Devils at TD Garden. New Jersey has been awful on the road, with a dismal record of 8-23-2 and now they have to face the Boston Bruins on their home ice. Good luck. The Devils are just 2-7 against the Atlantic, 1-6 in their last 7 following a win, and 5-16 in their last 21 in Boston. The Bruins will not come cheap in this one but are still worth considering.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS

The Los Angeles Kings will have their tail between their legs tonight when they head to Rogers Place for a date with the Edmonton Oilers. LA was pummeled at home on Monday, 6-1, by the lowly Seattle Kraken and now have to face McDavid and company, who have been smoking hot at home. The Oilers have won 7 straight at Rogers Place and have had the Kings’ number. They won the last meeting in Los Angeles, 5-2, back in February, are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings overall, and 5-1 in the last 6 against them at home.
TONIGHT’S PICK: EDMONTON OILERS

Two of the Original Six will face each other tonight when the Boston Bruins host the Toronto Maple Leafs. These clubs are evenly matched and both possess identical records at 41-19-5 but Boston has been on fire. The Bruins have won 4 straight, 14 of their last 17, and the home team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Also, Boston fell to the Leafs back in November, north of the border, 5-2, which should give them extra incentive to put it to their rival. Boston is hot, ride ’em ’til they are not.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS

Both the Tampa Bay Lightning and the New York Islanders will be playing back-to-backers when they take the ice today in Elmont, New York. The Lightning finally snapped their 3-game skid with a 2-1 OT win over the Red Wings yesterday while the Islanders fell to the Bruins, 6-3. Tampa has won 5 of the last 7 with their rival and are 4-0 in their last 4 on zero days rest. Tampa is great value at the current price of only -155.
TODAY’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The New York Rangers will be at home tonight to take on the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Rangers are 20-6-3 at MSG and are expected to have the best in the business between the pipes, Igor Shesterkin. Consider New York.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS
