Boston is all about concentrating on defense-first for Coach Claude Julian, third in the NHL in goals against and second in penalty killing. The offense has struggled at times, especially on the power play, and the team is on a 19-7-4 run UNDER the total, plus 7-2-2 UNDER the total in the Bruins' last 11 road games. The late season collapse of Montreal has given the Bruins a shot at winning the division title, so they will bring their best defense into this one. They come off a 3-0 win over Florida, part of a 3-1-1 run UNDER the total. The last two meetings (both this year) sailed UNDER the total with a 3-1 Philly win and a 3-0 Boston win. This one stays UNDER.
