Pittsburgh Penguins vs Boston Bruins Prediction: Don't Expect a Scoring Performance

Prediction for the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins vs Boston Bruins match which will take place on April 1st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Pittsburgh is having a challenging regular season. The Pennsylvanians accepted Nick Bonino and Dmitry Kulikov, but they immediately went to the infirmary and could not help. In the last nine meetings, the Penguins have won only three victories with six defeats in regular time, which is why they have an eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings, risking not getting into the playoffs.

Boston doesn't risk but systematically trains for the start of cup competitions. The Bruins had a phenomenal regular season, set many club records, and guaranteed first place in the Eastern Conference standings. At the same time, they have already sent the President's Trophy to their club museum. Despite this, the wards of Jim Montgomery do not think to stop. In the last nine meetings, they have won eight times, allowing only one defeat to Nashville – 1:2. The Bruins are the leading candidates for the Stanley Cup.

Pittsburgh and Boston will play the regular season's finish line in different shapes. The Penguins need more points, but they have won only three times with six defeats in the last nine games. But the Bruins had already solved all their tasks for a long time, so they did not demonstrate their best. However, it was enough to win in eight of the nine previous games. Moreover, the statistics favor Jim Montgomery's wards in the current season.

Do not expect a scoring performance from the upcoming game. It will take a lot of work for Pittsburgh to attack. They could be in better shape right now and have to fight with the leader. Boston has a great defense, which in the last nine meetings has missed only 12 goals (1.33 on average per game), which is a phenomenal result for NHL.
