After a very successful 4 game west coast road trip where they went 3-1, the Boston Bruins return home tonight to host the Nashville Predators. The 7-2-1 Bruins, who hold the top spot in the Atlantic, have won 5 of their last 6 with the only loss coming to the Dallas Stars in overtime, 2-3, and that was in Dallas. The 3-2-3 Predators, who are 6th in the Central, did win their last outing against the St. Louis Blues but have yet to win back-to-back games so far in the young season. Boston has always been tough to beat on their home ice, and this year is no different. The Bruins are 3-1-0 at TD Garden, score more than the Preds, give up less, and are the side to consider.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS
