Pick: Boston Bruins Moneyline (+136)

The Bruins are coming off a tough loss to the New Jersey Devils but will look to bounce back at home. With the game being played at TD Garden, Boston's home-ice advantage could be a deciding factor. The Senators have been inconsistent on the road, and the Bruins' need to climb the standings makes this a compelling underdog pick. The value on the Bruins' moneyline at +136 is worth considering.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. David Pastrnak Over 3.5 Shots on Goal

Pastrnak has been a consistent offensive force for the Bruins, and with the Senators allowing 29.4 shots per game (10th), he should have opportunities to hit this mark.

2. Tim Stützle Anytime Goal Scorer

Stützle has been a key contributor for the Senators and scored in their last meeting against the Bruins. With Boston's defensive struggles, he is a strong candidate to find the back of the net.

3. Over 5.5 Total Goals (-109)

Given the high-scoring nature of their recent matchups, including a 6-5 game last week, the over on total goals is an appealing play.
