My Bruins vs. Oilers predictions and NHL picks expect a convincing win from Edmonton with superstar Connor McDavid taking center stage tonight. The Edmonton Oilers are trending in the right direction with an active 9-3-1 stretch that has positioned them atop the Pacific Division, and they’re also up to 10-3-3 on home ice for the campaign.

Bouchard has the most points (37) of all Edmonton defensemen. The 26-year-old blueliner is skating on the first pair with Mattias Ekholm, and is averaging 24:16 of total ice time per night. Bouchard has seven goals in 40 games, which leads the Oilers' defensemen, too.

Zachary Bolduc scored to give the Canadiens the lead as Montreal scored four goals in a five-minute span to snap a third-period tie and run away from the Boston Bruins 6-2 on Tuesday night.

Casey Mittelstadt and Michael Eyssimont also scored goals, and David Pastrnak had a pair of assists as the Bruins returned from a three-game road trip to open a five-game homestand with a victory. Barrett Hayton scored for the Mammoth, and Vitek Vanecek made 19 saves.

Connor Zary scored on a power play 1:53 into overtime, and the Calgary Flames defeated the Boston Bruins 2-1 at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary on Monday.

Mattias Samuelsson had a goal and two assists as the Buffalo Sabres beat the Boston Bruins 4-1 for their eighth straight victory.

Another advantage for the Flames in this matchup is home ice, where they're 10-5-2 this season. On the other hand, the Bruins carry an 8-10 road record into this contest. Mikael Backlund has four goals over his last four games, and I like him to keep that going tonight.
