Flames vs. Bruins Preview
This system focuses on NHL favorites looking to bounce back after a disappointing loss where they were favored and failed to cover expectations. During the regular season, strong teams often use these situations to reset and respond with focus and urgency.
The setup targets mid-season games when form and rhythm are established but motivation can spike following a poor result. A short home or road stretch provides stability, and being favored again signals market confidence has not eroded. These are reliable rebound spots where quality teams tend to assert themselves after falling short, using the previous loss as fuel to reestablish control and deliver on their expected strength.
