NHLNext: vs Flyers, Sat6 predictions

Upcoming games

Boston’s 54 puck line covers in 82 games led the NHL in 2025-26, and the Bruins held that lead alone. One unit on Boston in every home game returned 16.28, the best home figure in the league.

First on the puck line

The Bruins covered 54 times and missed 28, and no team matched it. Most of it came from behind the number: Boston was the underdog 55 times and covered 42 of those with a goal and a half in hand. Laying the 1.5 as favorites, they covered 12 of 27.

Up 12.44 on the moneyline

Back Boston blind for all 82 and you finished 12.44 units up; one team returned more. The favorite’s role was rare, 27 games, and it still paid: 18-9 for 4.48 units, the best return on favorites in the NHL. November (9-5, 7.85 units) and January (11-3, 6.01) made 13.86 between them, more than the season’s total. December (6-8, 1.02 down) and April (2-5, 2.65 down) gave part of it back.

Who beat them, and who did not

Tampa Bay won all four meetings and Florida all three, so backing Boston against those two lost 7.00 units. The puck line still covered three of the four against Tampa Bay, each a one-goal defeat: 3-4, 5-6 in a shootout and 1-2. Boston covered all four against Detroit, and Columbus, Washington and the Islanders each lost all three.

One-goal games, the total, the extremes

Boston went 20-18 in one-goal games, and 22 went past regulation: 15 in overtime, 7 in a shootout. Boston’s longest winning run was seven games. On the total there was no lean worth a bet: 43 overs, 39 unders, with Boston scoring 3.32 goals a game and allowing 3.05.

The shortest price they lost at was -205, 2-4 at home to Toronto on 24 March. The longest they won at was +175, 3-2 at home over Colorado on 25 October.
