Sabres at Bruins | OddsShark Matchup Report

The Bruins have won two of their last three games since a four-game losing streak following a 5-1 win over the Devils as -145 road favorites on Tuesday. Boston’s David Pastrnak and Matt Grzelcyk scored two goals apiece at New Jersey, and Patrice Bergeron is expected back after missing the last two games due to a lower-body injury.

Penguins at Islanders | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Islanders -135 Favorites
The Penguins and Islanders complete a home-and-home series on Thursday after the latter rallied for a 5-4 overtime victory on Tuesday as +110 road underdogs. New York trailed 4-2 early in the third period but scored two goals in the last five minutes of regulation time to force OT. Pittsburgh had done something similar in the previous meeting, overcoming an early 3-0 deficit to win 4-3 in OT on November 7. That remains the lone loss for the Isles in 15 games.

The Hurricanes are riding a four-game winning streak into this Metropolitan Division matchup with the Flyers. Carolina doubled up Chicago 4-2 on Tuesday as a -125 favorite to close out a perfect 3-0 road trip. Philadelphia has headed in the opposite direction, losing four straight since putting together a four-game winning streak, with the OVER currently on a 2-0 run.
Canucks at Predators | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Predators -175 Favorites
The Predators hope to halt a season-high five-game losing streak when they host the Canucks.

Vancouver is also struggling, losing three in a row and seven of eight. But the OVER has cashed in four consecutive games for the Canucks after a 3-1 UNDER run.
Flames at Blues | OddsShark Matchup Report
