Winnipeg Jets vs. Boston Bruins Prediction: Can Jeremy Swayman, Bruins Stay Hot At Home?
The second game we are going to dive into tonight takes us to the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts for one of the earliest games on the board today. Two of the leagues best teams and elite playoff squads are looking to show why they appear to be Stanley Cup contenders. The Winnipeg Jets (30-10-4) out of the West are in Boston for a clash with the Bruins (28-8-9), who are one of the juggernauts out of their own conference.

Winnipeg Jets vs. Boston Bruins Prediction
Both of these squads are ridiculous defensively, like it is scary how ready for playoff hockey these teams are. Boston ranks sixth best in the league with just 119 goals allowed for a 2.60 GAA overall. On home ice, they are even better with a 2.50 GAA. The only problem for them is that Winnipeg is the number one team in the league defensively, having allowed just 99 goals so far and a 2.23 GAA. Luckily for us, those numbers are a bit skewed in my eyes, as Boston has played a tougher schedule this season. Don't get it twisted, Winnipeg has had some excellent wins this season. But on this current 10-1 run, they have most recently faced San Jose, Anaheim, Arizona, Columbus, Chicago, and Ottawa, all teams struggling immensely this season.
I just love getting the home squad here at a short price, I do not care that it is Swayman instead of Ullmark, they are a great duo and he has looked strong. Boston rides four straight wins into this one, and they have scored 21 goals in their last four games.
