Bruins vs Panthers Prediction & Pick

The Bruins were in full control of Game 1 on Monday night, scoring early in the first period behind leading goal-scorer David Pastrnak. They added 2 more goals in the second period, which was more than enough for goalie Linus Ullmark, who made a plethora of spectacular saves and only let one shot get past him all night.

Expect more of the same in Game 2, as Boston is clearly ready to play following its historic regular season. The Bruins have now won nine of their last 10 games and have been dominant at home all season, posting an absurd 35-4-1-2 record at TD Garden this year.

As such, the Panthers will be hard-pressed to steal a game on the road here before the series shifts to Florida. With its elite goaltending, high-powered offense, relentless penalty kill, and excellent depth across multiple lines, Boston is a legitimate juggernaut with virtually no weaknesses. If the outgunned Panthers are able to win a game in this series, it probably won't be this one.

Final Score Prediction: Bruins: 4 | Panthers: 2

Bruins vs. Panthers Best Bet

Pastrnak was a goal-scoring machine during the regular season, racking up 61 of them (second in the NHL). After scoring again in Game 1, he now has 13 goals in his last 11 games, finding the back of the net in eight of those contests. Anytime goal-scorer odds haven't come out yet, but ride the hot hand and back Pasta to light the lamp again when they do.

Bet: David Pastrnak Anytime Goal-Scorer (TBD)
