If Rask sits, this line could swing the other way. We’re expecting another close, physical battle between two teams that really don’t like each other, but with the Islanders’ power play rolling, the Bruins taking dumb penalties and New York’s ability to stay in any game, we’re banging the home team for plus money. 3 seed is playing anything but disciplined hockey at the moment, and New York has shown multiple ways they can pull off a win. Boston has scored the game’s first goal in four straight games but has just one OT win to show for it. The Islanders even gave up the first goal again on Monday, but still found a way to fight back in front of 17,000 fans at TD Garden. If they have to turn to Swayman it could be a devastating blow to the locker room. Now hanging on by a thread, the Bruins have to win in a packed Nassau Coliseum (12k fans), where the home side has amassed 7.37 xgoals in two games this series compared to Boston’s 5.94. The loss could be a tough one for the Bruins to bounce back from, as simulations show Boston winning that game 68.3 percent of the time, per MoneyPuck. The Islanders found a way to net five goals with just 1.26 xgoals recorded in Game 5. Boston’s backup is rookie Jeremy Swayman, who looked sharp in his limited action this season, but has just 10 NHL games to his name.

The Bruins’ bench boss also hinted that the officiating has benefitted his opponents for the entirety of the series. However, it hasn’t been the Islanders' 5-on-5 play that has been the talk of the series.īoston coach Bruce Cassidy was fined $25,000 for criticizing the officials after Game 5’s 5-4 loss.
