The series is 3-2 in Florida's favour, so Boston need only a win tonight, and the seventh game will be played at TD Garden, so they have a chance of making the semifinals, but they need to show some character tonight.
Florida, who could well have ended the series in the last game, showed very poor offensive play in game five. Judging by the last two games, the ‘cats’ have started to decline in the game, the former fervour has disappeared, the players are trying to play more carefully, fatigue is having an effect.
There is no clear favourite today, it is likely that the game may go into overtime, but we still expect that Boston will manage to take the series to a seventh game on home ice.
Prediction: Boston to win. We recommend the “Match Winner 1” bet, odds 2.3
