Nashville Predators @ Boston Bruins Preview

The Boston Bruins (28-26-8) host the Nashville Predators (21-32-7) in a critical matchup for both teams. The Bruins are looking to bounce back after a 1-0 loss to the Minnesota Wild, which snapped David Pastrnak’s 17-game point streak. Boston has struggled offensively, averaging just 2.69 goals per game, and is dealing with injuries to key players like Brad Marchand. Despite their struggles, the Bruins hold a solid 18-10-5 home record and are two points out of the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Predators, on the other hand, are enduring a tough season, sitting third-to-last in the Western Conference. They have lost six straight road games and are averaging a league-worst 2.53 goals per game. Filip Forsberg leads the team with 22 goals and 54 points, but Nashville’s offensive woes have been a recurring theme. In their last meeting, the Predators shut out the Bruins 4-0 in October, with Juuse Saros making 33 saves.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

The Boston Bruins and Nashville Predators have faced each other 38 times. The Bruins lead the series with 21 wins, while the Predators have 16 victories, and one game ended in a draw. In Boston, the Predators have struggled historically, holding a 5-9-(1)-3 record. The last meeting between these teams saw Nashville secure a 4-0 shutout victory at home in October 2024.

Pick: Boston Bruins Moneyline (-126)

The Bruins are the pick on the moneyline due to their home-ice advantage and Nashville’s poor road performance (6-20-4). While both teams are struggling offensively, Boston’s slightly better scoring rate and desperation to stay in the playoff race give them the edge. Additionally, Nashville’s inability to convert scoring opportunities, as evidenced by their nine shutout losses this season, makes the Bruins the safer choice.

Top Player Prop Picks

David Pastrnak Over 3.5 Shots on Goal

David Pastrnak has been a consistent offensive force for the Bruins, leading the team with 32 goals and 75 points. Despite the team’s recent struggles, Pastrnak continues to generate scoring opportunities, averaging over five shots on goal in his last five games. Look for him to exceed 3.5 shots on goal in this matchup.

Filip Forsberg Over 0.5 Points

Filip Forsberg leads the Predators with 54 points this season and remains their most reliable offensive weapon. With Boston’s defense missing key players like Charlie McAvoy, Forsberg has a good chance to contribute at least one point in this game.

Jeremy Swayman Under 2.5 Goals Allowed

While Jeremy Swayman has struggled recently, allowing 15 goals in his last five starts, Nashville’s offensive struggles (2.53 goals per game) make this a favorable spot for Swayman to rebound. Expect him to hold the Predators to under 2.5 goals.
