The Boston Bruins return home on Saturday afternoon to host the Florida Panthers at TD Garden. The Bruins are slight favorites on the NHL odds board after a long road trip.
While Boston is returning home, the Panthers are closing out a four-game road trip after losing in Toronto and Montreal before a 6-0 win in Ottawa on Wednesday night. The B's have won the first three meetings between these two thus far, 3-2 (OT), 3-1, and 4-3.

Panthers vs Bruins odds
Panthers vs Bruins predictions
The Boston Bruins have defied the odds all season long. After losing their top two centers in the offseason, they still sit atop the Atlantic Division with 105 points and are just three points back of the Rangers for the Presidents' Trophy.
David Pastrnak is still leading the way for the Bruins with 106 points (47 goals, 59 assists) in 77 games this season. He’s largely been joined by Pavel Zacha as his centerman on the top line.
Zacha put up 57 points (21 goals, 36 assists) in 82 games last season and is on pace for an even better year with 55 points (19 goals, 36 assists) in 73 games.
The first-line center is currently riding a five-game point streak (two goals, six assists) with eight points in his last five games. He’s also recorded a point in 13 of his last 15 games (19 points total) with an assist in 11 of his last 13 contests.
Zacha has also found success this season against the Panthers. He has four points (two goals, two assists) in three games against Florida.
My best bet: Pavel Zacha to record an assist (+150 at DraftKings)
