Buffalo at Boston

The Boston Bruins got the game they needed in Buffalo which swings the home ice advantage into their favor. This is a team that struggled duplicating what they achieved a year ago, but since Tuukka Rask has been between the pipes a lot more frequently, they have been much better. Rask has allowed just 13 goals in his last eight behind the net, or 1.63 per contest. The Bruins should be playing with confidence, getting back on home ice. The Sabres have been a poor team posted as a dog where they stand at 5-12 over their last 17. The Bruins have taken five of their last six quarterfinals playoff games, so I'll give them the edge and back them here.
