ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON 10* Boston Bruins Puck Line (-1.5 goals) over New York Rangers, Thursday at 7:05 PM ET - Panarin is back practicing with the Rangers but he won't be playing tonight. He is the Rangers best player. Shesterkin is the Rangers #1 goalie and he is still out with an injury. That said, New York is still a little short-handed at both ends of the ice here and they are facing an angry Bruins team that is off back to back losses. Boston is a perfect 3-0 this season when off back to back defeats and the last two victories have come by a combined score of 11 to 4. The Bruins are a big favorite here but we get line value by playing them on the puck line at -1.5 goals to get a big plus money return. Boston's last 3 wins have been by a combined score of 16 to 5. The Rangers last 3 losses have all been by multiple goal margins and a combined score of 13 to 4. The Bruins are offering line value here because goalie Rask is out but Halak has been fantastic between the pipes and comes up with another fantastic start here. Halak has had just one bad game this season. He allowed 7 goals in that one but just 1.5 goals per game in his other 8 starts. Another gem here. Laying the 1.5 goals (for a solid plus money return, currently in the +150 range) with Boston is the value play here.
