Where to watch Columbus vs Boston?

Columbus has nothing to lose

The team from Columbus will enter the game as an underdog and therefore has nothing to lose in the duel, on the contrary, it may even surprise the upstart team from Boston. The key to success will be to keep the Czech goal scorer David Pastrňák in check.

Boston is playing for the lead in the Eastern Conference

Boston is on a three-game winning streak and will not want to lose points to a team from the top of the table. If successful, they can leapfrog the New York Rangers for the lead. It also has a much better defence than Columbus and can rely on the shooting skills of David Pastrnak in attack.

Columbus vs Boston Odds

The visiting team can be backed at a relatively low 1.65 odds, yet if there are some brave souls who bet on the home team to win, the odds will be a very nice 3.88 on the ticket.

Betting tip – Pastrnak to score

We can assume that Czech sharpshooter David Pastrňák will score in this duel. He came up empty in his last win in Detroit. His scoring potential is such that he scores on average in every other game. So we can expect him to send a few shots at the Columbus goal and at least one of them will find its way behind the goalie’s back.
