Two hot teams will meet Thursday night when the Boston Bruins, host the New York Rangers at TD Garden. Boston has fought their way back into the playoff position in the Eastern Conference, but face a stern test tonight. The Rangers are one of four very strong teams in the Metropolitan Division. NBCSN has the coverage starting at 7 PM ET.

Boston has been playing improved hockey since they fired head coach Claude Julien three weeks ago. The Bruins won six of their first seven games with Bruce Cassidy taking over on an interim basis, putting them in third place in the Atlantic Division. However, the Rangers are also on a hot streak and would be in first place if they were in the Atlantic.
The Rangers (40-21-2 SU, 30-33 ATS) hit the road after back-to-back home losses to Columbus and Washington. Despite that, they sit in the first wildcard position in the Eastern Conference and seem poised to make the playoffs for a seventh straight season. Over the course of the season, the Rangers have been top offensive units, owning the 4th best team offense with 3.24 goals scored per game. Look for a high-scoring affair on as the Bruins have been putting the puck past the goalies quite a bit lately.

This should be a fun Original Six matchup as both teams are playing well, but the Bruins are the hotter team right now and this game is in Boston, where they’ve won four in a row. I also like the fact that the home team has won seven of eight in this series.
Pick: Bruins -140
