Bruins favoured at TD Garden as model projects 3-2 over Panthers

The PuckMetrics model has Boston as the favourite at 63% to beat Florida at TD Garden, with Florida at 37%. That is a clear edge for the home side, though not a runaway one, so expect a game that could tilt either way.

The most likely final score is Bruins 3, Panthers 2. The model also gives overtime a 24% chance, a reminder that this matchup has real potential to be tight and decided late. Confidence in the pick is medium, reflecting a projection that leans Boston without eliminating Florida's path.

Puck drop is 18:00 UTC on November 8. Boston's home ice is the main factor the model points to, but the 37% for Florida keeps this one worth watching closely.

Model favours the Bruins at 63% over the Panthers. Most likely score: BOS 3, FLA 2, with a 24% chance of overtime. Medium confidence. Puck drop at TD Garden. Analytics only, not betting advice. #NHL #LetsGoBruins
