Boston vs Florida Prediction: the Bruins to Take Revenge

Prediction for the NHL match between Boston vs Florida, which will take place on October 31st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Boston had a phenomenal last year but fell out of the first playoff round. Now, the Bruins are learning to live in a new way. The legendary David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron have left the club, and the team has become different. But the results are still good. In eight games, they have suffered only one setback, a 4-3 overtime loss to Anaheim, but have won seven games in regulation. Naturally, the team leads the Eastern Conference standings with 15 out of 16 points, three ahead of their nearest opponents.

Florida was the revelation of the last Stanley Cup, entering the playoffs at the last minute and eventually making it to the final series but losing to Vegas. There is no doubt that they want to repeat that success at least, but it will be complicated. The start of the season only confirmed this, as the Panthers lost to Minnesota and Winnipeg - 0-2 and 6-4. But in the next five games, they had only one defeat, a 5-3 to Vancouver, and four wins. That's only good enough for 11th place.

This rivalry has never been anything to write about. However, in last year's Stanley Cup, the Panthers sensationally knocked off the league's best in the first round. No doubt the Bruins have been holding a grudge ever since and will be looking to settle it now. Sure, a regular championship is unlikely to bring them as much joy as winning the Cup, but revenge must be had. The Blacks and Yellows are in great shape, having scored 15 points in eight games. 

The H2H confrontation was fun and productive in recent years. In 11 previous meetings, the rivals scored 85 pucks (7.73 on average). Additionally, the opponents have each shot at least three goals in their last three meetings, all in the playoffs. They have a good chance to be even more productive now.
