This is an 8* play on BOSTON

The Bruins stormed back from an early two goal deficit to take Game 1, but the team's 8th straight victory was by no means easy. They didn't take the lead until 5:21 into the third period and the final goal came on an empty net (costing us the Over). But one positive sign is they did outshoot the Blues 38-20. Blowing a two-goal lead on the road is a missed opportunity and it's the kind of advantage St. Louis is quite unlikely to enjoy again. Boston is 11-2 its last 13 games and only three of those wins (two in Round 2 vs. Columbus) have been by less than a two-goal margin. They're on an incredible 21-5 run when off a game where they allowed two or less goals. Rookie goaltender Jordan Binnington has been great for St. Louis, but is likely to be outplayed again by Tuukka Rask, whose save percentage for the playoffs now sits at a remarkable .940.
