After a record-breaking 21-0-3 start, most expected Chicago to find themselves in the finals, but it certainly hasn't been an easy path. They have knotted the series with Boston at two games each, in a Game Four shootout by a 6-5 count. The Bruins have outscored the Blackhawks 14-11 in this series, and both Chicago wins have required an extra session. Boston struggled with Toronto in the opening round, but since a 4-2 setback in that opening round, Boston has gone 18 straight games in the playoffs without suffering a loss by more than a single goal. They have suffered just seven losses all season by more than a single tally. That certainly becomes eye opening for a team that has played strong throughout the season, and have been an even tougher out in the playoffs. The value in this contest resides with Boston on the puckline.
