Bruins at Flyers: Projected starting goalies
Tuukka Rask (4-1-1, .888 SV%, 2.57 GAA) vs. Brian Elliott (3-0-0, .932 SV%, 2.22 GAA)
Rask stopped 22 of 25 shots faced in Wednesday’s win over the Flyers. It was his third victory in his last four outings with the loss coming in overtime against the Washington Capitals Saturday. He has allowed 3 or 4 goals in three of those four games.
Elliott comes in for Friday’s game after starter Carter Hart allowed 4 goals on 35 shots in the overtime loss Wednesday. Elliott hasn’t been charged with a loss yet this season, but he allowed 3 goals in each of his last two outings.

Prediction
Flyers 4, Bruins 3
Money line (ML)
The FLYERS (+120) are worth a shot for the upset on home ice after letting a 2-goal lead slip away Wednesday. The Bruins dominated puck possession with 53.68% of all shot attempts, including blocked and missed shots, at 5-on-5, but the Flyers had 58.33% of the even-strength scoring chances.
Boston was also opportunistic in scoring on 3 of 4 power-play opportunities. Even at a 28th-ranked 70.73% success rate, the Flyers penalty kill should be better than that.

Against the spread (ATS)
The FLYERS +1.5 (-250) can also be backed for the insurance on the puck line with a small wager. Their last three games have gone to extra time, and they won two of those over the Islanders. The Bruins are 4-0-1 in their last five games, and three of those went to overtime.
These teams met for a two-game set in Boston Jan. 21 and 23; Boston won the first game by a 5-4 score in a shootout.
Over/Under (O/U)
All three meetings between these two teams have seen at least 7 total goals scored. Rask should get right sooner than later, but there’s little reason to hope for the correction to come in this spot against the high-scoring Flyers.
Back the OVER 5.5 (-115).

Braden Holtby (3-3-0, .896 SV%, 3.63 GAA) vs. Frederik Andersen (6-2-1, .888 SV%, 3.01 GAA)
Holtby should get the starting nod after Thatcher Demko coughed up 7 goals in the front end of the double-dip in Toronto, as the Canucks lost 7-3 Thursday. Holtby yielded 6 goals in a road loss to the Montreal Canadiens, but he made 34 saves.
Andersen allowed three goals on just 19 shots as he cruised to the 7-3 win Thursday. He has won four of his past five outings, with the Leafs providing 22 total goals of support in the five-start span.

Prediction
Maple Leafs 5, Canucks 3
Money line (ML)
The Maple Leafs (-200) won by a football score in the front end of this set. They’re a good bet to run it back and take the second installment, too.

However, this is just past my personal limit of -180 on a money line. Look to the spread instead, unless you toss this into a parlay. PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)
The MAPLE LEAFS -1.5 (+125) are worth a look for the 2-goal margin of victory. They hit against the puck line in Thursday’s game, and they’re just too expensive on the money line.
Go lightly, as Toronto has won by 2 or more goals in just three of its eight victories. Vancouver has been beaten by 2 or more goals in each of its eight losses. So if you play against them, play the puck line for a better payout until they right the ship.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 7 (+110) is the play. Both Vancouver goaltenders have been coughing up huge goal totals, and the Leafs are providing Andersen with a lot of offense.
Toronto enters on a 4-0 Over run, and Vancouver is on a 3-0 streak while cashing the Over in eight of the past 11.
