The Bruins put down the hammer on the Blues in game three, and they can really grab a hold of the series with a win Monday night in St. Louis. The Bruins are now two victories away from their first Stanley Cup since 2011 and Boston’s third in a row in the four major North American professional sports.

Bruins vs Blues Stanley Cup Betting Analysis

The Bruins grabbed a stranglehold of the series with the game three win, and it’s much the same at Sports Interaction, as they are now -333 favourites to win the Stanley Cup, while the Blues coming in at +250.

At series start, there was a lot of talk that this would be a defensive series. However, in the first three games the over is 2-1. Game three was also an over in the first period, when the Bruins scored the game’s first three goals. The total for game four is listed at 5.5, with the odds of +113 going to the over.

During this post season, the Bruins are a perfect 3-0 in game four situations. All three games were on the road. The Blues are 1-2 in game four this playoff year. During the regular season, these two teams split the two games, each winning in their own buildings.

Boston Bruins

The Bruins power-play in game three was unstoppable going four-for-four with the man advantage and scoring for a seventh straight game. They now have 23 power-play goals this post season, which is second in team post-season history, just behind the 24 goal they scored with the man-advantage in 1991.

Defenceman Torey Krug made history in game three, becoming the first Bruins defenceman to have a 4-point game in the Stanley Cup finals. That is big news considering some of the hall of fame defencemen the Bruins have iced in their history. Krug now has 16 points in 20 playoff games, that’s tied for first place among defenceman.

Of note, the Bruins do enjoy playing on the road this season, where they are a remarkable 7-2 in nine games.

St. Louis Blues

The Blues have to recover fast after the biggest beating they have taken this 2019 post season. Back on April 14, the Blues fell to the Jets in the first round, and preceded to lose the next game as well. This is something the Blues cannot afford to do.

Goaltender Jordan Binnington has to have a short memory, especially after allowing five goals on 19 shots. He was lifted from the game for the first time this post season.

Vladimir Tarasenko saw his eight game point scoring streak come to an end in game three. His 18 points overall this post season is two back to the leader Brad Marchand and Logan Couture.

Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist served a one-game suspension in game three for his hit on Matt Grzelcyk. He is eligible to return to the line-up for game four.

The Blues are now 5-6 on home ice in 11 games this post season.
