Pittsburgh Penguins 3-way ML (+135) over Boston Bruins
Let's get things started with the battle of black and yellow teams in Pittsburgh tonight. These Eastern Conference teams are bitter rivals and that should be on full display in their first meeting of the season. There's no denying that the Bruins are buzzing, but let's break down the start of their year. Firstly, they've had the luxury of being at home for 6 of their 8 games. Two of those wins also came against the Anaheim Ducks and Arizona Coyotes, arguably the worst 2 teams in the NHL.'
When the Bruins finally went on the road, they lost to the Ottawa Senators. While they did recently defeat the Columbus Blue Jackets on the road, that's not overly impressive against a 3-7-0 team. Meanwhile, the Pens struggles have primarily only been on the road. They've been away from Pittsburgh for 5 straight games, 4 of which were up in Canada. Prior to that was home games in 3 of their first 4 games to begin the year. The Pens won each of them, including a 6-2 thrashing of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Now back on home ice, Pittsburgh can silence the Boston faithful for at least a night.'
