Boston Bruins (30-29-8) and Tampa Bay Lightning (37-23-5) will hit the ice at the TD Garden on Saturday night. The Bruins are struggling to keep up with the playoff race in the Atlantic Division, sitting in the seventh spot with 68 points. That’s just a point behind the Canadiens in the fifth position and 7 points behind the fourth-placed Senators. They have endured a rough patch lately, dropping five of their last 10 games, and are coming off a 6-3 loss to the Senators.

The Lightning, on the other hand, are doing well in the Atlantic Division. They are third in the standings with 79 points, just two points behind the second-placed Maple Leafs and six behind the Panthers. However, the Lightning must watch out for the Senators, who are just four points behind them. They have struggled for form lately, giving up their last three games, including a 4-3 loss to the Flyers in overtime. They’ll undoubtedly be eager to stop the slide.

Our Tampa Bay Lightning vs Boston Bruins Prediction

Boston Bruins have had their fair share of challenges this season, especially in defense, where they conceded 212 goals. That’s ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference. This slump has continued lately, with the Bruins conceding an average of 3.40 goals in their last five games. However, their attack has shown signs of improvement, scoring an average of 3.00 goals in those matches. That should give them an edge against the Lightning, who have given up an average of 3.60 goals in the last five games. Note that the Bruins won four of their previous five home assignments against Tampa Bay Lightning. We expect them to extend this record. Our prediction for Boston Bruins vs Tampa Bay Lightning: Boston Bruins to win.
