This is an 8* play on the BRUINS

Winnipeg has been given one of the toughest "asks" in the entire league as they will start the second half with back to back road games. Last night did not go well with a 3-1 loss in Philadephia. Now they must quickly regroup and head to Boston where the Bruins will be eager to get things going after a loss in their last game. Now that loss was 10 days ago, but nevertheless, the home team can't afford to lose any more ground in the Atlantic where they are in fourth place (but just three back of second). I think the Bruins are in a good spot here considering they're at home and facing a team playing without rest. Their home record is 17-7-1 and they average 3.5 goals per game at the TD North Bank Garden. As we saw last night, the Jets are a lot more pedestrian on the road. They also lost their last game before the All-Star Break, which was in Dallas. The Bruins are tied for third in the league in fewest goals allowed and also have the #2 power play. Play on BOSTON
