Blues vs. Bruins Preview
The "Chalk Revenge" system focuses on NHL favorites looking to rebound after a disappointing loss in which they were expected to deliver but failed to meet market expectations. In the regular season, strong teams often respond to these spots with renewed focus and urgency.
This angle targets mid-season matchups, when rhythm and form are more established but motivation spikes following a poor result. A short home or road stretch provides stability, and the fact that these teams are listed as favorites again indicates the market still trusts their underlying strength.
Historically, these have been reliable bounce-back situations. Quality teams tend to assert themselves after falling short, using the previous loss as fuel to reestablish control and perform to their projected level.
Blues vs. Bruins Prediction
Overall, the system stands at 374-195 (66%) with a 10% ROI across all-time results, and it's off to a 6-3 (67%) start this season with a 17% ROI.
Best Bet: Blues Moneyline
