The Bruins did not look as strong early in the season, but since Tuukka Rask has taken over on a regular basis behind the net, they certainly have turned it up a notch. Rask has been large on home ice, allowing just 13 goals in his last eight, or a paltry 1.6 per contest. His last two vs. the Flyers saw him stop 55 of 57 shots, allowing 1 goal in each game, both Bruins wins. The Flyers have had problems lately on the road at just 4-10 in their last 14, while the Bruins have cashed five straight on hom ice. Boston takes the opener in this series.
