Boston Bruins vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction, Odds and Picks for Thursday, 01/09/25

The Boston Bruins kick off a two-game Sunshine State road trip Thursday, and they are looking to bounce back from a 4-0 setback at home against the Edmonton Oilers. The Bruins are in an 0-4-1 nosedive in the past 5 games, scoring one or no goals in three outings. It appears head coach Jim Montgomery wasn’t the reason for the team’s losing ways, as things haven’t turned around since his firing. Boston has dropped four in a row on the road in regulation, while going 0-4-1 in the span. The Under has cashed in four of the past six games for the B’s, too, while going 7-3 in the past 10 outings.

For the Tampa Bay Lightning, they edged the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 Tuesday in a makeup game from October after previously getting canceled due to Hurricane Milton. That win halted a four-game losing streak. Still, the Lightning are having a devil of a time trying to light the lamp, totaling just eight goals in the past five outings, or 1.6 goals per game (GPG). They’re allowing just 2.5 GPG in the past four games, too. The Under has cashed in four in a row, while going 6-2-1 in the past nine outings. Tampa Bay has allowed 26 goals in the past 11 games, or 2.3 GPG. Go low on the total, and feel confidently in doing so.
