Our second game of NHL predictions is an Atlantic Division matchup between the Boston Bruins and the Florida Panthers. Jeremy Swayman is the likely starter for Boston, which is 7-1-2 in their last 10 games. This includes a four-game winning streak entering this game. Viktor Arvidsson has five goals in Boston’s last 10 games.

Sergei Bobrovsky is the confirmed starter for the Panthers, who are teetering on the brink of elimination. The two-time defending Stanley Cup champions, who are 4-6 in their last 10 games. Injuries have taken toll on Florida but Seth Jones has five assists in his last 10 games.

The Panthers have actually done well against the Bruins this season. However, Boston gets the win to bolster its chances.

Prediction: Bruins win 3-2.
