BRUINS (40-17-5) 85 points at LIGHTNING (34-24-5) 73 points
Last 10:*Boston 6-2-2; Tampa Bay 3-7-0
Season series:*This is the final game between the*Boston Bruins*andTampa Bay Lightning. Not only are the Bruins going for the sweep, they've allowed one goal in three games to the Lightning, by*Valtteri Filppula*in the first meeting Oct. 3. Goalie*Tuukka Rask*has an 0.33 goals-against average and .988 save percentage with two shutouts. The Bruins have scored 11 goals, led by*Patrice Bergeron's three.
Hopefully Rask does not have a game like Buffalo's net-minder had last night. However looking at the stats & previous outcomes, the Bolts may be smarter to not show up & suffer from FOMOH!
The B's have almost as good of an away win/loss record as the Bolts have for a home record! B's away: 15-10-3 Bolts home: 17-8-3. All the rest of the stats are in favour of the B's as well. The Bolts were shutout in 2 of the 3 games in this series. My prediction is 5-1 Bruins.
