Penguins vs Bruins live stream: How to watch the NHL Winter Classic 2023 online right now

Alright folks; it’s time to watch the NHL Winter Classic live streams online, where you'll see a Penguins vs Bruins game where both teams are looking for momentum. And only one won its last appearance in the year-opener. Either way, this annual outdoor game that turns back time looks to be a high-scoring affair, at least for the home team.

And the weather looks perfect.

The Penguins (19-11-6) visit Fenway Park, the home for this year's retro-ified classic game, in poor shape. Losing their last four (including a 1-5 road loss to the Islanders and a 4-2 home loss to the Devils), the Pens have also been kept to 2 or fewer goals in 4 of their last 8 games. 

So, the Penguins will be trying to use this flashback fan fest to remember how they have been good on offense overall this season. Their defense, though, is where their weaknesses have lied. In 5 of those last 8, Pittsburgh's given up 4 or more goals, with the Red Wings and Islanders scoring 8 a piece in back to back late-December games.

The Bruins (28-4-4) have the stronger record going in.. Ranked second of the league for goals per game, the Bruins also beat the Penguins 6-5 in Pittsburg this past November.

The odds currently (according to DraftKings) favor the Bruins, the -175 moneyline favorite (bet $175 to win $100), while the Penguins are the +150 underdogs (bet $100 to win $150). 

Here's everything you need to watch the 2023 NHL Winter Classic online to see the Penguins vs Bruins game.
