The Breakdown

This is a tale of two teams going in opposite directions. The Bruins are marching towards one of the most dominant regular seasons in NHL history with an eye on Lord Stanley’s Cup. While the The Chicago Blackhawks are tanking for Connor Bedard. The two teams faced each other once this season, a lopsided 6-1 Bruins victory. Since then the Blackhawks have sold off a good chink of their core, dealing away future hall of famer Patrick Kane, center Max Domi, and winger Sam Lafferty among others. A lopsided matchup this was likely to be, but just how lopsided?

Prediction

It’s a pretty pricey puck line but it’s just hard to see Chicago being able to keep this one close. The Bruins are obviously a juggernaut but also coming off a bad loss to the Red Wings that they’ll wanna try and shake off. Chicago meanwhile has lost seven of their last eight games, including one to the Anaheim Ducks, one of just two teams with a worse record than they have.

Final Score: Bruins 5  Blackhawks 1
