There’s a couple big games taking place tonight with the Bruins looking to close out the Habs in Montreal and the Kings and Ducks each looking to take control of their series.
2014 NHL Playoff Record: 16-12 for +3.17 units.
Boston Bruins @ Montreal Canadiens
I said it after game 3 and I still believe it. The Bruins will win this game and complete their 3 game win streak to eliminate the Canadiens from the playoffs. The Bruins seem to have found a way to shut down the Habs offensively and they are putting the puck past Carey Price just enough to get the wins. It will be a hard fought game at the Bell Centre tonight, but I do think this will be the last game of this series. The Bruins are still the best team in the East by a significant margin in my opinion.
Play: Bruins 1.83 (5Dimes)
LA Kings @ Anaheim Ducks
Like I’ve said before, the Kings are a streaky team and I was going to keep taking them to win until they lost a game. Well that has now happened twice so I’m going to be taking the Ducks to continue to find a way to get W’s tonight. This will be the first time in the series that a home team wins a game. Gibson is getting the nod again for the Ducks and he will look to build on his shutout performance in game 4. Gibson has had a lot of success in his limited playing time in the NHL so far in his career and continuing to get playoff wins will only up his stock moving forward. The Ducks should control this game and if the bounces go their way they will get the win.
Play: Ducks 1.80 (5Dimes)
