The Boston Bruins have taken a commanding, 3-1 series lead over the Carolina Hurricane, but the Bruins suffered a big blow when Tuukka Rask left the bubble to attend a family matter. The Bruins allowed a league-low 174 goals, so the loss of Rask could be both physical and psychological on both sides. Carolina certainly has to feel like they now have an opportunity to win and stay in the series with some momentum for Game 6. I would expect they will be the team with the most motivation facing elimination, and the opportunity here makes for a tight game. Make the play on Carolina on the puckline.
