Anaheim vs Boston: the Bears to Secure Sixth Win

Prediction for the NHL Anaheim vs Boston match, which will take place on March 2 at 06:00. Who will be stronger? Check the teams’ conditions and expert betting tips. Several betting options are available!

Anaheim has really screwed up. Their poor performance in eight games - two wins and six losses - has dropped them to fifth place in the Pacific standings, two points behind the playoffs. With the way the Ducks are playing right now, the playoffs are out of the question. In the last two games, Anaheim lost by three pucks to Los Angeles and four to the Islanders. 

After two successive failures (to the Rangers and Islanders), Boston snapped a five-game winning streak, 21:6 overall. The Bears are averaging over four pucks per game and conceding 1.2, the top mark of any club in the Eastern Conference. The Bruins have no problems in the Atlantic Division standings. They are currently in the playoff zone, 16 points ahead of inferior Detroit.

Anaheim's defense has been weak lately. In the last five games, the Ducks conceded 22 goals, more than four per game. The hosts need to get back to their former peak because they are not even in the playoff area. As a result, the Ducks will focus on offense rather than defense, only benefiting the Bruins. Boston is a very competent team that likes to catch opponents at their own mistakes. We think that the Bears will be stronger in this game.
