Boston Bruins vs Washington Capitals Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/14/26

The Boston Bruins have been cooling off a little bit lately, including a 4-2 loss against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night. It is 1-2-1 in the past four games, but that lone victory for Boston is a 3-1 win at TD Garden against the Capitals, as Jeremy Swayman bested Logan Thompson. While the B’s are 0-1-1 in the past two games, including a regulation loss to the Sharks, the Bruins haven’t lost back-to-back games in regulation since losing three in a row from Dec. 21-27. Swayman and the B’s have won each of the first two meetings with the Caps this season by a 3-1 score, including the regular-season opener Oct. 8 in D.C.

For Washington, it just scratched out a 2-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres on the road. In the past, that might not have been a big deal, but the Sabres are first place in the Atlantic Division. The Caps have won two of the past three games, and the Under is 4-1 in the past five games, and 9-2 across the previous 11 contests. The Under is 7-1 in the past eight in the series, too. The Under is 5-2 in the past seven games for the Bruins, too. With the early puck drop, let’s look for the goals to be at a premium, especially early in the game.

Under 6 (-105) at time of publishing. Playable to -110.
