The Boston Bruins have been in great form lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games. They play strong defense too, blocking more shots per game than most teams and landing a decent number of hits. This tough play at home makes them a hard team to score against at TD Garden. On the other hand, the Nashville Predators have struggled, winning only 3 of their last 10 games.
