NHL Stanley Cup Finals Betting: Bruins Favorites, Blues Powerful Underdogs

The Bruins are a very good team, averaging 3.3 goals per match.

Patrice Bergeron is currently leading Boston with 8 goals, plus, David Pastrnak has 54 shots on goal, and Brad Marchand has eleven assists.

When it comes to defense, they are fantastic, killing more than 85% of their rivals’ power plays, and allowing just 1.9 goals per match.

They’ve also won 7 of their last 9 matches as favorites, and have gotten the victory by scoring more than two goals per match during the playoffs.

Now, the Blues have managed to win 8 of their previous ten games as underdogs, and the team is quite emotional, as they’ve not reached this stage of the playoffs in decades.

Bruins vs. Blues: Which to Pick?

These two teams met just twice during the NHL regular season, and so it’s hard to predict a winner based on this stat, especially when considering the fact that they won a game each.

When it comes to offense, Boston has the edge, however, the Blues defense is quite solid, and Jay Bouwmeester and company will need to be quite solid to stop Vladimir Tarasenko, St. Louis’ superstar.

Indeed, this will be a fierce battle between the Blues, a rookie team, and a regular playoffs team as the Bruins. So, the favorite for NHL Stanley Cup Finals Betting is definitely Boston.
