Elias Lindholm is enjoying a big bounce-back campaign, producing at his highest per game pace since the 2021-22 campaign with Calgary.
My Bruins vs. Rangers predictions expect Lindholm to make some hay offensively in a very advantageous matchup.
Let’s take a closer look at my NHL picks for Monday, January 26.
Bruins vs Rangers prediction
Bruins vs Rangers best bet: Elias Lindholm Over 0.5 points (-135)
The New York Rangers are playing without Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin, who have both won awards for being the best at their respective positions. It shows.
The Rangers have allowed a league-leading 46 goals over their past 10 games. It’s not just a matter of a couple blowup spots, either. New York has conceded at least three times in nine of those games, and four or more on seven different occasions.
It’s difficult to envision the bleeding stopping against the Boston Bruins, who rank third in goals spanning the last 10 games.
Elias Lindholm has been one of the guys at the forefront of that success, producing nine points and putting up three multi-point performances.
He has been consistent for the Bruins, especially against weaker defensive sides.
Excluding Top-16 teams in limiting goals, which the Rangers are not, Lindholm has averaged 1.1 points per game and hit the scoresheet in 70% of his appearances.
Riding shotgun with David Pastrnak, who has averaged 1.7 points per game against Bottom-16 teams in goals against, Lindholm has a strong chance of making his mark in this one.

Bruins vs Rangers same-game parlay
Pastrnak has scored in 34% of his games this season. That number jumps to 46% against Bottom-16 defensive teams.
He has found the back of the net in only two of his last nine, and this is the perfect matchup to get going again.
Alexis Lafreniere continues to skate on a line with Artemi Panarin, which is a good place to be. Lafreniere has averaged 2.4 shots per game on Panarin’s line this season and recorded multiple shots in seven of the past nine.
