SABRES @ FLAMES Buffalo comes in with a 13-10-4-1 winning 2 of their last 3 games and scoring at least 5 goals in 3 of their last 5 games. Their defense is playing well allowing 2 goals or less to 7 of their last 10 opponents. Calgary has won 3 of their last 4 games but had lost their 6 previous games. They have been held to 2 goals or less in 7 of their last 10 games overall. This line seems to be kind of high in this particular situation and doesn't warrant Buffalo being a dog this big Take Buffalo

BOSTON @ ST LOUIS Game 5 in Boston ended in controversy, after the Blues scored a goal just seconds after what appeared to be a missed call. Don't be suprised to see the officials come back with a makeup call at a crucial time in Game 6 here in St. Louis. The Blues have been better on the road than they have been at home in these playoffs, and they are going to have a tough time eliminating the Bruins. Tukka Rask has been better than Jordan Binnington in these playoffs. Rask leads all goaltenders with a 1.97 GAA and a .937 save percentage. He should be at his best with his team looking to force a Game 7. Take BOS.

BRUINS @ BLUES Perhaps it was only a matter of time? The Blues rookie goaltender Jordan Binnington had the lowest GAA in the NHL this season, but he was chased from Game 3 in the second period after giving up five goals on 19 shots. He hasn't been all that sharp in the finals, while Tukka Rask has been a brick wall. The Bruins experience is starting to show, and they now have the Blues on the ropes. Boston is dominating on special teams, going 4-for-4 on the power play in Game 3. It's going to be very difficult for the Blues to overcome superior goaltending and special teams play. I like Boston in Game 4. Take BOS.

BLUES @ BRUINS The Bruins had the bull by the horns after winning Game 1 by a score of 4-2, but the Blues took all the momentum when they won Game 2 in overtime by a score of 3-2. Momentum is a funny thing though, and I think the Bruins will respond with a far better effort here on the road in Game 3 in St. Louis. The Bruins are 4-0 in their last four road games, and they have won five of their last six as an underdog. The Bruins top line hasn't yet produced in these Finals, but it's only a matter of time. I expect a big game from the likes of Marchand and Chara here tonight. Take BOS.
