- Boston can afford a loss here, while the Capitals certainly cannot, and Washington should come out on fire at home as a result.
- Boston is much worse on the road than they are at home, which should play a role in tonight’s outcome.
The Boston Bruins and the Washington Capitals will face off on April 15, 2024, at 7:00 pm ET. DraftKings Sportsbook has the Bruins as -155 favorites and the Capitals as +130 underdogs. Currently, there is equal betting action on both teams, with the total set at 5.5 and showing a preference for the over with 67% of bets leaning that way. Don't miss this exciting matchup between two competitive teams in the NHL.
This game has massive implications for both teams, as the Bruins look to lock up the Atlantic Division championship, while the Capitals need to keep winning to remain in the final Wild Card slot in the Eastern Conference. While Boston has been the better team for most of this season, we will go with the Capitals to win this game, as they have no margin for error right now. With the Detroit Red Wings expected to win their final two games against the Montreal Canadiens, Washington can't afford a loss down the stretch, and they should avoid one in this contest.
On the other hand, Boston can afford to lose tonight. As long as they win their last regular season game against Ottawa at home tomorrow, they will clinch the Atlantic Division's top spot. We should see that happen, but for tonight, the Caps should come out on top.
