Utah Hockey Club Bruins tips and predictions

forecast

Bruins 5, Utah Hockey League 4

Money line

The BRUINS (-125) are actually a pretty strong value, all things considered.

While the Utah Hockey Club (+105) has certainly had a great start to the season, they have allowed at least three goals in four straight games and at least four or more goals in three of the previous four games.

It won't be easy for Boston heading into the noisy Delta Center as the atmosphere there has been absolutely electric so far, the B's are a quality team and they can't be rattled.

Puck Line/Against the Spread

Utah Hockey Club +1.5 (-250) will cost you two and a half times your potential return if you want a little insurance. That's too expensive. If you like Utah, support it directly.

HAPPEN.

Over/Under

ABOUT 6 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

Utah has reached the over in 4 of 5 games so far, lighting the lamp at least 4 times in 4 of 5 games, while the defense and goaltending have allowed 3 or more goals in 4 consecutive games.

For Boston, the over has cashed in 4 of 5 games, with the B's scoring 4.0 goals per game (GPG) while allowing 3.6 GPG so far.
