The New York Rangers (45-20-4) will make the trip to Massachusetts and take on the Boston Bruins (41-14-15) for the third encounter this season, with this matchup being held at the TD Garden on Thursday, March 21 at 7:00 PM ET. Currently, the Bruins are favorites with a moneyline at -140.

The Rangers just ended their two-game winning streak with a 4-2 defeat against the Winnipeg Jets. Prior to that, they had scored five goals or more in their recent wins for that streak.

They have a solid road record, but are arguably better in their home arena. They are currently holding a 21-11-4 record when playing games on the road, which is still appealing for any team.

The Rangers contribute 3.33 goals on 31.0 shots a game. This is appealing to see them matchup well against the Bruins, especially since both teams have appealing records. Their power plays are also compelling, with a 25.6 power play percentage.

On defense, they are holding teams to 2.70 goals and 29.4 shots from their opponents each game. This margin of victory is spot on with the Bruins, which should offer a compelling matchup.

The Bruins have won four out of their previous five matchups, while currently on a three-game win streak. Their latest win was a 6-2 outing over the Ottawa Senators and marked their second win in a row with at least six goals scored.

They play more appealing hockey when they are at home, as they boast a 23-8-6 record here. However, in both meetings with the Rangers, they came up short both times and one of those being a 2-1 overtime outing back in December of last year. 

The Bruins have similar stats everywhere you look, as with 3.34 goals, 29.8 shots, and a power play percentage at 24.2. This shows they can keep up with a majority of the best teams in the league.

They are giving up 2.70 goals and taking 31.1 shots a game. This shows they can keep up with teams if their offense is not having the best day. In addition, their penalty kill percentage is on par with the Rangers’ (82.0 to their 83.2).

MyBookie has you set for NHL odds, with this matchup favoring the Boston Bruins with a -140 moneyline. This will be the third meeting between these two this season, so both know each other quite well.

Their first encounter was a 7-4 win back in November of last year. Based on previous matches, this could go either way, but look for the Bruins to finally crack a win on their season series matchups with positive momentum on their side.
