 The Boston Bruins will take an improved defensive effort to New Jersey when they take on the Devils. BetOnline.com has the New Jersey Devils –170 odds favorites against the Boston Bruins +150 with the over/under set at 5 goals +100 reduced juice.The Bruins have dealt with injuries all season, most recently to Marc Savard and Chuck Kobasew, but they have not given up and sit in seventh place as of Monday. The Bruins have a renewed commitment to defense, powered by captain Zdeno Chara and All-Star goaltender Tim Thomas, and Boston has kept their opposition to two goals or less for four straight games. The Devils halted a five-game losing skid with a win over Philadelphia last Friday, scoring two goals or more for the first time since a 4-2 win at Colorado on March 15. Scoring is the Devils’ Achilles Heel, which puts a lot of pressure on their defense and goaltender Martin Brodeur. New Jersey has taken three of their last five against the Bruins, including two of three this season. Look for the Bruins to claim a tough win on the road and gain a split of the season series.
