NHL odds, picks, and predictions for the New York Rangers at Boston Bruins on March 21. NHL betting best bet and free pick analysis.
Two of the Eastern Conference's best will clash on the ice tonight in Beantown, and with the Rangers missing two important bodies on the blueline, our NHL picks are siding with the Bruins.
This'll be the Rangers seventh game and they’ll also be without top-four defensemen Jacob Trouba and Ryan Lindgren . Considering New York ranks 24th in expected goals against per 60 minutes at 5-on-5 , losing a pair of go-to blueliners isn’t ideal for a road matchup against a deep lineup in the midst of a busy schedule.
The Bruins have also won five of their past six contests, and projected starter Jeremy Swayman is ripe for a rebound showing after allowing nine goals across his past two starts. Even with those two duds, Swayman is 13-6-1 with a .917 SV% and 2.45 GAA on home ice this season. Additionally, the 25-year-old American ranks second in the league with 0.43 goals saved above average per 60 minutes.
Finally, with the Rangers ranking 22nd in Corsi For percentage and 26th in expected goals percentage on the highway, I don’t think the vig is high enough on the home team Thursday. In addition to the highlighted edges in favor of the Bruins, they also allow the third-fewest goals per 60 at 5-on-5 and seventh-fewest overall on home ice.
