The Boston Bruins and the Washington Capitals split eight games during the regular season, but I'm giving the Bruins the edge here in the first game of their Stanley Cup playoff opening-round series. Taylor Hall has been excellent since joining the Bruins, and the Caps have injury concerns.

Bruins are 12-4 in their last 16 games as a favorite. Capitals are 2-7 in their last 9 playoff games as an underdog. Favorite is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

10* play on Boston Bruins.
