New York at Boston

The New York Rangers staved off elimination at home by winning Game Four, but still trail the Boston Bruins 3-1 in their best-of-seven series. They will have to win on the road today to keep the series alive, and they have a losing record on the road for the season. The Rangers have just a 1-5 mark on the road in the playoffs, managing a total of just 7 goals in the five losses. Boston has peppered the net in this series, as they have out-shot the Rangers 139-116, or by about 6 shots per game, and that certainly leaves them in a strong situation for winning, and the power play is starting get on track as well. The Rangers have had difficulties scoring on the road this season, particularly in the playoffs, and face a daunting task in Beantown today. The Bruins get it done, so play Boston for my NHL Playoffs Game of the Month.
