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 4-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 6-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, averaging 3.36 goals per game. They will be going up against the 5th-worst defensive team in the league in the Panthers, who allow an average 3.32 goals per game. The Bruins are 0-2 against the Panthers this season, and they can’t afford to get swept in the season 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.
