St. Louis Blues

Rookie Jordan Binnington has had an impressive first year campaign. He has started 57 NHL games in his career (regular and post season), and has never lost three consecutive games. He has two straight games twice in his career, both in the playoffs (Winnipeg and Dallas). He is the Blues best chance to win the Conn Smythe Trophy paying +200 to do it.

Centre Ryan O’Reilly is playing his best hockey of the postseason in this Stanley Cup final. He has four goals in the last three games and seven points in the last five games.

Jaden Schwartz has scored 12 goals this post season, but is still looking for his first of this Cup final. He has two assists in six games. Speaking of ice cold, the Blues are 1-for-18 on the power-play this series.

Of note, forward Ivan Barbashev is eligible to return to the line-up for this final NHL game of 2019.

Boston Bruins

The Bruins got the bounce back game they needed in game six, scoring four times in the final period to force a final game in Boston Wednesday evening.

Goaltender Tuukka Rask has surpassed Jordan Binnington as the favourite to win the Conn Smythe trophy at -300. Rask has been brilliant in five elimination games this post season, with a perfect 5-0 record and a save percentage of .973. He’s stopped 145-of-149 shots over these five games.

The Bruins are now 7-for-21 with the man advantage this series. They have 24 power-play goals this post season, which ties then for a club record they set during the 1991 Stanley Cup playoffs. Torey Krug and Brad Marchand lead all NHL’s with 12 power-play points this post season.

The Perfection Line (Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, and David Pastrnak) have combined for five goals and 13 points this series.
