NHL Betting Picks, Odds, And Preview: Boston Bruins vs Philadelphia Flyers

The Boston Bruins are on the verge of reaching the century-point mark as they continue to rule over the NHL with the best record in the league.

Boston Bruins

The Bruins are just two points away from reaching 100 points this season but before they could pull out the balloons for the milestone celebration, they must first recognize the tall order that is the Flyers who have already beaten them twice this season and are looking to complete a clean season series sweep on Tuesday.
