Why the Bruins are the team to back tonight 🏒 ... Boston enters this matchup as a severely undervalued force in the league. With a top-five ranking based on advanced metrics compared to Pittsburgh, which sits significantly lower in the standings, the analytical advantage points directly to the Bruins money line.
