This is a 10* on BOSTON

The Bruins have lost only one time in their last six games. That singular defeat occurred on Saturday, in overtime, against the Capitals. It was immediately avenged as they bounced back to beat the Caps 5-3 on Monday. The B’s have only lost once in regulation this season and that was 1-0 to the Islanders on January 18th, their third game. Now they travel to Philadelphia to play a Flyers team that’s on a four-game win streak. Winning here shouldn’t prove difficult for Boston. After all, they’ve already beaten the Flyers twice this year, 5-4 and 6-1. While those games took place in Beantown, the fact they scored 11 goals is definitely an encouraging sign. Though they are off to their best start in years, the Flyers (7-2-1) have been outshot in 9 of 10 games. So excuse us for being a bit skeptical. Play on BOSTON
