Ottawa leads 3-1 and has home ice but this has been a dead even series. The Senators have won three in a row since a Game 1 loss at home - all by one goal. Boston has a winning road record and finished three points behind Ottawa in the division. The Bruins have a talented veteran netminder who has been in the Stanley Cup Finals. He has a team behind him that is ninth in goals allowed, tops in penalty killing, plus an offense that is #13 in goals scored, and seventh on the power play. Ottawa is #22 in goals scored, and #23 on the power play. Ottawa will be without winger Tom Pyatt, who was knocked out of Game 4 by a high hard hit by Kevan Miller. The road team has taken five of six when these division rivals battle, so grab the talented and balanced road team again and play on Boston.
