My Bruins vs. Oilers predictions and NHL picks expect a convincing win from Edmonton with superstar Connor McDavid taking center stage tonight. The Edmonton Oilers are trending in the right direction with an active 9-3-1 stretch that has positioned them atop the Pacific Division, and they’re also up to 10-3-3 on home ice for the campaign.

The Boston Bruins will not be home again until 2026, but before 2025 concludes, they open a five-game road trip that starts on Saturday, Dec. 27 against the Buffalo Sabres at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y.

The Utah Mammoth visit the Boston Bruins at TD Garden on Tuesday, Dec. 16 at 7 p.m. ET. The matchup airs on ESPN+. Utah secured a 5-4 victory on the road its last time out on Dec. 14 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Boston lost 6-2 on the road against the Minnesota Wild in its most recent game on Dec. 14.

KeyBank Center is the site where the Buffalo Sabres (18-14-4) will try to defeat the Boston Bruins (20-17-1) on Saturday. The odds on this game have Boston at +110 and Buffalo is sitting at -130. The betting total comes in at 6.

The Boston Bruins travel to St. Louis on Tuesday for a rematch with the Blues, who are riding the momentum of a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. The B’s just beat the Blues 5-2 on Dec. 4. Brayden Schenn will look to extend his recent hot streak ...

The Habs took the lead in the third period, with Zachary Bolduc scoring his 10th of the season. It started a sequence of four goals in 5:18 for Montreal. Then Boston got into penalty trouble. Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki responded with power play goals at 5-on-3.

Another advantage for the Flames in this matchup is home ice, where they're 10-5-2 this season. On the other hand, the Bruins carry an 8-10 road record into this contest. Mikael Backlund has four goals over his last four games, and I like him to keep that going tonight.
