The current betting odds have the Bruins listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bruins have looked great in their games this season with their 30-9-9 record overall which is leading their division in the East and is also one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have also looked good in their road games this year with their 14-5-6 road record. Meanwhile, the Flyers have also looked good in their games this season with their 25-18-6 record overall which has them in 3rd place of their division in the East. The Flyers haven't looked as good in their games lately though as they were in 2nd place of their division just a few days ago and have now been slipping down as their recent surge of good play has ended. They are only 5-5-0 in their last 10 games while the Bruins have been hotter with their 6-1-3 record the last 10 games. The Bruins have been playing in much closer games lately, even when they lose, and the Flyers haven't looked that great on home ice this year with their 11-11-2 home record. The Bruins are one of the best teams in the NHL right now and have been going back to last season when they set regular season records. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bruins to win this game.

“I don’t think we dodged a bullet; I think we took about eight bullets. They had six power plays we had one. That is one-sided.” - Jim Montgomery after his team’s win against the Senators in their game on Thursday.

“We’re struggling to make plays. We doubled them in shot attempts, I think we had 75 shot attempts. A number of them went wide and blocked shots, they did a good job there. But we’re just not developing much offense.” - John Tortorella after his team’s loss against the Red Wings in their game on Thursday.
