Boston Bruins vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (7:00 PM ET)
[sc:NHL240 ]The struggle is real for Pittsburgh. The Penguins extended their skid to three games on Wednesday, when they were blanked by Boston in TD Garden, 3-0. Goals have surprisingly been hard to come by for Pittsburgh this season, considering the talent level on its lineup. The Penguins, who are just 28th in the league with only 2.23 goals per game, will try to get it going versus Boston, which has little problems offensively, as the Bruins are second in the NHL with 3.17 GF/G.
The Bruins are 6-4 in their last 10 road games, while the Pens are 4-6 in their last 10 at home against Boston.
Writer’s Prediction
Pittsburgh wins, 3-2.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Golden State Warriors (10:30 PM ET)
The Warriors won’t have to wait long to get their hands on Milwaukee again, as they look to avenge their 108-95 loss to the Bucks last Saturday. This time around, the game will be in Golden State, where the Warriors remain undefeated this season with an 11-0 home record. The Warriors bounced back well from their loss to Milwaukee, crushing Phoenix on Wednesday, 128-103.
The Bucks, on the other hand, enter tonight’s ball game on the heels of back-to-back losses to the Lakers and the Clippers. It’ll be harder for Milwaukee to upset the Warriors in the rematch with big man Greg Monroe out with a Grade 1 MCL injury. The Bucks are 2-2 ATS in their last four games.
