This is a 10* play on the Bruins

You might be surprised to see the Bruins getting this kind of "love" from the oddsmakers against a team like the Capitals. But you shouldn't. Boston has won five straight and looked pretty dominant in doing so. Their most recent win was a shutout, 4-0 over Minnesota on Tuesday, right here at home. The good news is that they're 10-4 SU this season when off a win by two more goals. The bad news is that Washington has been a terrible matchup for them in the past. The Caps have gone 10-0-3 the past 13 meetings, including a 7-0 win to open the season. You can bet Boston will want to avoid this matchup at all costs in the playoffs, so finishing top three in the Atlantic is pretty important. That means they have to beat them now and I think they will. Goalie Tuukka Rask has been on fire lately (.959 save percentage L4 starts) and Washington has lost two of its last three road games. This is a game the Bruins have had circled since getting smashed in the season opener and I expect them, already red hot, to play one of their better games of the season. Play on BOSTON
