This one has a bad feeling to it. The Bruins are finally getting their home opener, just in time for the Pens first North American foray outside of the Igloo.
The Pens haven't managed to put together a complete game yet, and Boston is always a tough place for them to play (Boston is 6-1-1 against the Pens at home since the end of the lockout).
Wagerline has Boston as the favorite, but the public consensus is on the Pens at over 56%. The bookies don't like to be wrong, so that is usually a recipe for trouble (road underdog being the public favorite).
The Bruins have two good goalies in Thomas and Fernandez, but they've had some trouble stopping pucks so far this year.
If the Pens can play solidly on the defensive front, they should be able to get some good chances on the Bruins. The key will be to weather the storm in the home opener - the Bruins are sure to be charged up.
Let's Go Pens!
