The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Boston's last 5 games.

Prediction

Colorado has dominated Boston, they're 7-1 in their last 8 games against them and 11-1 last 12 games playing at Boston. The Bruins barely beat the Senators so it will be a tough game for them against the Avalanche. Boston are only 5-21 ATS at home. Take Colorado with confidence.
