Boston Bruins (Position3η Div. Ν25-NP8-US7-Η. 16 Term.168-136)
After they managed to throw out, with a home handicap, the Washington Capitols, I took shape and they dissolved in 1ο match their opponents tonight. Best throughout the match (40 - 22 shots), just found themselves back in the score at the beginning of 1η period showed their teeth and with their main protagonists Pastrnak D. (E.) who scored three (3) goals and Krejci D. (E.) who shared three (3) assists reached 1η win. A victory which was again based on a good game on their part and showing that they have taken the air of their opponents by counting four (4) consecutive victories. Also absent tonight are Moore J. (A.5s / assist), Zboril J. (A.2s / assists) and Kase O. (E.42s) who are missing from the start of the playoffs Also absent will be Kampfer S. (A.9 assists / 3 goals / 20 assists) and Miller K. (A.2 assists / 3 goal / 32 assists) who were missing in the last two (1) matches. While Smith C. (E.4sm./2gol/60assist) is doubtful, who will probably play.
New York Islanders (Position4η Div. Ν24-NP8-US7-Η. 17 Term.156-128)
They did the 1η surprise of the playoffs and left out with the disadvantage of the home of the "Penguins". I consider it a huge achievement, as the home of the "Penguins" was the strongest in almost the entire league. The point is that in 1ο matches of this series seemed particularly problematic and they lost fairly. Everyone should realize that this match is very important, as if they lose tonight they will find themselves chasing and will have to look for consecutive victories, to overturn the score. Apart from Lee A. (E.27 assists / 12 goals / 7 assists) who has not played since the beginning of the playoffs, Dal Colle M. (E.26 assists / 1 goal / 3 assists) and Wahlstrom O will logically be absent. . (E.49sm./13gol/11assist) who were missing in both (2) most recent matches.
Boston may seem to have many absences, but the only major Smith C. is doubtful. They play very good hockey and very often pay attention to the backwards. It is characteristic that from 08.05.21 they have to concede more than two (2) goals in matches. I think this match will be more closed and I will get the victory of the best team with a low score. Ace & Under5.5.
