Boston Bruins vs Florida Panthers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/04/26

The Boston Bruins will take on the Florida Panthers Wednesday night. The Bruins are coming off a brutal loss where they gave up a 5-1 lead against the Tampa Bay Lightning and lost in penalty shots. The Bruins played very well in that game which has been normal for them recently. They have won 4 of their last 6 overall with both losses coming in extra time. The Bruins have also scored 21 goals over their last 5 games boosting their average to 3.38 goals per game on the season. I imagine the Bruins come into this one fired up with intentions to avenge their recent loss.

For the Panthers, they have dropped 4 straight games. In that span, they have been outscored 16 to 11. The Panthers struggles have been persistent at home where they have lost 8 of their last 10 games. Part of this slide for the Panthers could be due to the increasing amount of penalties they give up. On the season, they rank 2^nd in opponent power plays, only behind the Bruins. The difference for these teams is that the Bruins power play ranks 3^rd in the NHL while the Panthers power play ranks 21^st. I think penalties will play a major role in this one and I trust the Bruins power play more than the Panthers. Overall, the Bruins are in better form, and I am taking them on the money line.
