The Boston Bruins took a 1-0 series lead by virtue of their 4-2 win in game one. They never trailed, and took 11 more shots than Montreal. It marked the ninth time in their last 10 games that the Bruins have won at home, and the four goals is exactly what they have averaged in their last four games overall. Montreal has now dropped five straight games and has allowed at least three goals in each of the last five losses. Their road mark has been just 5-16 in their last 21 games, and is now also just 3-13 as a road dog. The Bruins have used the momentum of a win to produce a 37-14 mark after notching a victory, and the loss by Montreal in game one marks the fifth straight time they have gone down in Boston. We have a bad recipe here, as the Bruins are scoring, and Montreal isn't stopping anyone. I'll go with Boston on the puckline, as well as the over.
