The short-handed New Jersey Devils visit a similarly banged-up Boston Bruins team on Tuesday at 7:00 PM ET at the TD Garden, where Boston's depth will be tested. Hosts Boston has been scoring by committee, averaging 3.26 goals per game, and will rely on secondary scorers with stars David Pastrnak, Pavel Zacha, and Viktor Arvidsson all listed as day-to-day. New Jersey counters with a more balanced attack, led by Jack Hughes' 77 points, but must overcome the loss of Jacob Markstrom and Luke Hughes, among others.
The Bruins own a 44-27-10 record, including 28-11-1 at home, while the Devils counter with a 42-36-3 mark and 21-19-0 on the road. Boston's power play has clicked at a 23.4% rate, while New Jersey's has scored on 22.1% of chances. With these teams trending towards under on totals, especially given Boston's recent defensive effort, bettors should weigh their options carefully before making a pick.
