Capitals vs. Bruins NHL Betting Prediction
Tonight’s game marks the third head-to-head meeting between the Capitals and Bruins this season. The teams split a pair of matchups earlier in the year on Washington’s home rink. Those games saw a total of 7 and 8 goals scored. This creates a level of intrigue surrounding the over on total goals in tonight’s game. With the FanDuel line still being shaded a half goal lower than the rest of the NHL betting market, this would appear to be a tremendous opportunity for bettors to pounce on.
