Bruins hope to keep dominating Habs
By Rob Gerein | November 5, 2009
The Montreal Canadiens visit the struggling Boston Bruins in an Original Six matchup Thursday, the first meeting between the rivals since the NHL Playoffs last spring (7 pm ET, TSN, NESN).
Boston is a -170 favorite in Hockey Betting.
If history is any guide, the Habs might be just what the Bruins need to get back on the right track, as they are a dominating 9-1 in the past 10 meetings with the Bruins, including a perfect 5-0 in the past five meetings in Boston.
Over/under wagering fans should note that four of the past five meetings, and six of the past 10, gone over the total.
The teams last squared off on April 22, when the Bruins won 4-1 to sweep their best-of-seven Eastern Conference playoff series in four games.
In their last game on Tuesday, the Canadiens lost 5-4 to the visiting Atlanta Thrashers, as -145 home favorites.
The Bruins lost 2-0 to the Detroit Red Wings in Detroit on Tuesday.
Montreal is 7-8 this season and Boston is 6-7-1 and has lost two straight.
