Tuukka Rask (26-8-6, 2.12 GAA, .929 SV%) at Mackenzie Blackwood (22-14-8, 2.77 GAA, .915 SV%)
Rask had another fabulous season in 2019-20, splitting the duties with Jaroslav Halak. It’s a system that has worked really well for bench boss Bruce Cassidy. Rask’s 2.12 GAA was his lowest since he turned in a 2.04 GAA during the 2013-14 season. He has also won 26 or more games in seven consecutive NHL campaigns. Rask faced New Jersey twice last season, going 2-0-0 with a 0.50 GAA, .982 SV% and one shutout.
Blackwood was impressive in his first full season as the New Jersey backstop, and it’s uncertain where they would have been without him. He went 10-8-7 with a 2.76 GAA and .910 SV% with two shutouts in 25 appearances at home last season. He picked up one win with one loss in two outings against the B’s, allowing five goals on 28 shots in a loss at home Nov. 19, 2019.

Bruins at Devils: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Bruins 3, Devils 1
Money line (ML)
The BRUINS (-175) are just about at my limit for a straight money line wager, as I tend to never go any higher than -175 or -180. They’re a good play at this price level in the opener, even though it’s a tad risky playing a road team at such a high price.
Against the spread (ATS)
The BRUINS -1.5 (+155) are a tempting play on the road, but Blackwood will certainly make them work for it. He is the best backstop the team has had since Martin Brodeur left, and he will win games that Cory Schneider and other goaltenders in recent years have let slip away.
Still, the B’s will do enough to scratch out a road win by at least 2 goals.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 5.5 (-105) is the play here, although long-term Boston’s defense is a bit worrisome. They lost Torey Krug to the St. Louis Blues, and Zdeno Chara to the Washington Capitals, so we’ll find out early if Charlie McAvoy can handle being the No. 1 guy. That’s the biggest concern betting the Under in this one, and we’ll likely find out early if it is going to be a good night.

The Boston Bruins Ice Girls, or simply Bruins Ice Girls, are a professional cheerleading team supporting the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League. The 2011–2012 Bruins Ice Girls team consists of 17 members[1] including their captain, 'Holly'.[2] During Bruins home games the Bruins Ice Girls host different contests and events, many of which involve the fans. Outside of Bruins games the Bruins Ice Girls are also very active in the community, and are involved in charity events, fundraisers, and viewing parties.
History[edit]
The Bruins Ice Girls team was originally formed for the 2002-03 NHL season and consisted of 12 members.[3] Their first uniform consisted of black pants and simulated Bruins sweaters. The Bruins Ice Girls' duties during their first season included skating onto the ice with the Bruins trash barrels to help clean the ice during stoppages in play, and assist with on-ice promotions in between periods.[4]
The Bruins Ice Girls team has always chosen its members via a series of tryouts. Since its inception, the team has gained popularity from applicants, with over 900 applying for the 5 open positions for the 2011-12 NHL season.[2][4]
Bruins Ice Girl Events[edit]
During Bruins Home Games[edit]
The Bruins Ice Girls work all Bruins home games including pre-season games. During the games the Ice Girls perform a variety of tasks, including talking with fans in the concourse and at the Ice Girl's Station, handing out rosters,[5] skating on the ice for on-ice promotions in between periods, and signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans. One of the most popular Ice Girl events is the Ice Girl T-shirt toss, during which members of the team take to the ice and the stands and give free Bruins t-shirts to the fans, either by throwing them or firing them out of air-powered cannons.[2][6][7]
In The Community[edit]
The Bruins Ice Girls also support other competitive sports teams in the Boston area, at both the professional and youth levels. They have made appearances at minor league teams' games and events,[8] and at youth hockey games.[9]
The Bruins Ice Girls work with many charities and non-profit organizations. The charity that they are most commonly involved with is The Bruins Foundation,[10] and they are also involved with others such as The Starlight Children's Foundation, The American Heart Association,[2] and The MSPCA-Angell.[11]
Much of their community work involves The Bruins Ice Girls interacting directly with fans. They host 'Skate with the Ice Girls' events where tickets can be purchased to skate with them and the Bruins mascot, Blades, at local skating rinks (with all proceeds supporting various charities and non-profits).[12] They also do hospital visits,[13] and work with primary and secondary public schools to develop educational programs[14]
