Boston Bruins - Ottawa Senators - NHL

Wager: $300. We turn our focus to the NHL: Boston Bruins (11-8-0) and Ottawa Senators (11-7-1) will meet face to face tonight: The game will start at 7:30 p.m. EST, at the Stadium 'Canadian Tire Centre', and will be on RDS2, TSN5, NESN, NHL.TV. Captain Zdeno Chara is out, David Pastrnak will return for Boston. Bobby Ryan will return as well for Ottawa. The Bruins lost their last home game 2-4 from the Blues. Boston scratched Sean Kuraly and Colin Miller; Injured: Zdeno Chara (lower body), Noel Acciari (lower body). Boston is 5th in "Goals Against" and 7th in "Penalty Kill %" categories this season. Ottawa is coming off a 4-3 win against the Montreal Canadiens. The Senators scratched Max McCormick and Fredrik Claesson for the game; Injured: Clarke MacArthur (concussion). They are 11th in "Goals Against" and 5th in "Penalty Kill %" categories, showing well above average defense. The official, basic Las Vegas game line for O/U is (5.0 Goals), so 'Las Vegas is expecting' a low scoring game. With that said, I pick the "Alternative Total 2-Way" option @ BET365 - Under 6.5 Goals @ 1.35 / (-285). In 2-Way markets Push rules apply. Stakes on single bets are returned, and in Parlays the selection is treated as non-runner. (Unless the amount to bet is specified, as it is here, our predictions are generally made for $100 wager).

UPDATE November 24, 2016 - FINAL Result: Boston Bruins 1-3 Ottawa Senators. Ottawa Senators defeated Boston Bruins by using late surge to score twice in the 3rd P. against Rask. The Bruins and the Senators scored 4 goals total, way below of our projection of Under 6.5 Goals, to keep our new winning streak going (3 in a row):  Our Bet of Under 6.5 Goals Easily WON.  $300 invested, resulted in TOTAL return of $405 ($300 Principal + $105 Net Profit). (I am breaking down those numbers right now into full detail, since we've got plenty of questions lately from some novice players, who are still learning the curve of betting and the type of odds.) Stone, Wideman, and Turris scored for the Senators (12-7-1), who recorded back-to-back wins. C. Anderson made 19 saves.  D. Pastrnak scored for the Bruins (11-9-0) in his return; Rask made 23 saves. The loss was Boston's 2nd in a row and 3rd in the past 4 games.

Happy Thanksgiving to all !!!
