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

The red-hot Boston Bruins will be visiting the Florida Panthers on Thursday night. The Bruins come into this game riding a four-game winning streak and they are 7-1-2 in their last 10 games. They are comfortably sitting in the first wildcard position, with a six-point cushion on the Columbus Blue Jackets who occupy the second wildcard spot. Despite not having many household names aside from David Pastrnak amongst their forward group, the Bruins are a very good offensive team. They are averaging 3.36 goals per game. They will be going up against the fifth-worst defensive team in the league as the Panthers average 3.32 goals against per game. The Bruins are 0-2 against the Panthers this season and they can’t afford to get swept in the season long series.

I like the Bruins to get it done on Thursday night as they will be the hungrier team with still something left to play for this season. Look for Pastrnak and Swayman to have strong games and lead the way for them. Give me the Bruins in this one.
