The 14-game streak without a regulation loss is the Bruins' longest since recording at least one point in 17 straight games in 1983. Tonight, they will try to make it 15 games against the #1 team in the East. The Penguins just got Crosby back not too long ago, and he looks like he hasn't missed a step after being out almost a year. He is averaging over a point a game, and when you add that to Malkin, who has 10 points in his last seven games, you know you're in for a lot of offense.
Pittsburgh is 7-0-1 in its last eight home games, but if the Bruins can find a way to win this game they would be just 1 point behind the Penguins for first place in the East. The Penguins are going to score tonight, even with Thomas in net, so the Bruins are going to need to keep up the offensive pressure they have been putting on teams over the last month or so. Bruins have won its last three by a combined 14-6, so we all know they can do it.
Yet, the Bruins still have not lost when picking against them, so who am I to argue.
Penguins win 5-4
