Two of the best teams in the NHL will face off on Monday evening when the Winnipeg Jets travel to Boston, Massachusetts to face the Boston Bruins at the TD Garden with the game scheduled to start at 7:00 PM ET.

nd
place in the conference and gives them the 3

Connor Hellebuck has been one of the best goalies in the league and enters this game with a record of 23-7-3 with a .927 save percentage and is allowing an average of 2.15 goals per game with the 23 wins being the 3

nd

th
in goals per game with an average of 3.33 goals per game. Hellebuyck has won the last two games he has started and will look to extend the winning streak to three games when the Jets travel to face the Boston Bruins.
The Boston Bruins have the best record in the Eastern Conference with a record of 28-8-9 and 65 points which also gives them the 2
nd
best record in the NHL and are on a four-game winning streak following a 9-4 win at home against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. The Bruins have been one of the best defensive teams in the league as they are allowing the 3
rd
fewest goals per game while having the 4

most goals and 3
rd
most points in the NHL this season. The Boston Bruins will look to extend their winning streak to five games when they host the Winnipeg Jets on Monday evening.
BookMaker
has the Boston Bruins listed as -130 moneyline favorites at home against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday evening. Boston is 6-2-2 in the last ten while having won two of the previous three meetings. The Bruins have won by an average margin of .2 goals per game over the last ten while both teams are averaging 2.33 goals per game over the last three games in the series.
Two of the best goalies will play in this game with Connor Hellebuyck having the 2
nd
best save percentage and Swayman having the 4
th
best save percentage. The under has been the trend most recently in the series, hitting in two of the last three meetings with the teams combining for an average of 4.67 goals per game in those contests which is why I am taking the under 5.5 goals when the Winnipeg Jets travel to face the Boston Bruins on Monday evening.
