This is a 6* MID-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Boston Bruins.

Some times a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case I definitely feel that the home side should be a bigger one; in my opinion, this is the very definition of great line value. I think this sets up as a letdown spot for the visitors, they're coming off two straight road wins, today's contest is the finale of a three-game trip and then the team will enjoy a few days off, its next contest isn't till Wednesday in front of the home town crowd. Conversely, the Bruins are coming off consecutive defeats after Monday's 3-2 home overtime loss to Pittsburgh on Monday. A date vs. the Jets is just what the doctor ordered to get untracked as the franchise has dropped 12 straight in Boston while giving up an average of 3.92 goals in the process. After wins against the Jackets and the Sabres, I think that Winnipeg will check out of this game early and look forward to the extended time off. Note that goaltender Ondrej Pavalec is 0-6-1 with a 4.00 GAA in eight starts in Boston. And note that Bruins goaltender Tukka Rask has posted a 1.51 GAA over a 2-1-1 stretch. In my opinion, all signs do indeed point to BOSTON as the value play here.
