Boston is facing elimination in Game 5 after losing 3-1 to the Lightning on Saturday. Jonathan Halak saved 23 of 26 shots, which was an improvement after his Game 3 showing, and he is now 4-4 with a 2.94 goals-against average in the postseason. The Bruins are 9-2 their last 11 games playing with one day of rest and they are 11-5 after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. Boston won the first game of the series, but losing in overtime in Game 2 gave the Lightning the momentum. The Bruins need to come out focused tonight in this must-win situation and they're listed as just a slight underdog. Play the Bruins.
