That Bruins vs Habs game last night was intense. Not many scoring chances, but you have to love a 0-0 game where any goal could be the winner. In the end the Bruins got me the win with a bit of a strange goal shortly into OT. In the other game the Ducks finally figured out Jonathan Quick and won the game 3-2. That series could pick up now that the Ducks are on the board.

Chicago Blackhawks @ Minnesota Wild
I’m expecting a bounce back game from the Blackhawks in this one. They were kept off the board in game 3, but I don’t see Bryzgalov getting back to back shutouts against an offense as potent as the Blackhawks. I did take the Wild in that game 3 scenario, but I like the Blackhawks to realize how important this game is and find a way to win. I like the Blackhawks to win this series in 5 games actually. The ‘Hawks need to focus on shutting down Parise in front of their net and from there the Wild’s offense could falter.

New York Rangers @ Pittsburgh Penguins
This is a tough one for me. I think the Pens could close out the series at home tonight, but I also give a lot of credit to the Rangers when their backs are against the wall. They were a good road team all season and have decent on the road in the playoffs as well. They have been struggling to score throughout the playoffs and need their top guns like St. Louis and Nash to find that next level. I don’t think the Rangers will come back to win this series, but I could see them pulling off a win tonight and the odds make it the smart play in my opinion.
