Bruins vs. Blues Game 6 Prediction: NHL Playoffs Betting Odds

Controversial or not, the Blues are one win away from winning the franchise’s first Stanley Cup. If St. Louis does eventually win the Cup, David Perron’s third period goal in game five will haunt Bruins fans forever. The series isn’t over just yet. The fourth win is always the toughest.

Bruins vs Blues Stanley Cup Betting Analysis

The Blues are in full control of this series, and it also shows that way at Sports Interaction. Currently you can get them at -357 to win the Stanley Cup. Perhaps you want more value on your bet? If you feel the Blues will wrap up the series in six games, the payout is at -153.

At series start, there was a lot of talk that this would be a defensive series. However, in the first five games the over is 3-2. Game five was the lowest amount of goals scored in a single game this series (three) and the goal total for game six is at 5 goals. Will it be a defensive battle in game six? If it is, it is currently paying +122.

Game sixes during this post season have been very good to both of these team, the Bruins are a perfect 2-0 in game six situations (did not play a game five versus Carolina) including clinching the series against the Blue Jackets. Meanwhile, the Blues are 3-0 in game sixes this playoff year, clinching the series against the Jets and Sharks.

Boston Bruins

It seems the Bruins offence has dried up in the last two games. Since the team’s 7-2 shelling of the Blues back in game three, the team has managed to score just three goals on 62 shots. Yes, they have run into a hot goaltender, but the team must generate a lot more scoring opportunities.

Also, for the second straight game the Bruins failed to score a power-play goal, going 0-for-3 with the man-advantage. The team is 0-for-5 in the last two games. They 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.

Captain Zdeno Chara played a remarkable 16:42 in game five – with a broken jaw. He also had four hits, two shots on goal, and three blocked shots. Talk about a gamer.

St. Louis Blues

Goaltender Jordan Binnington was the story once again in game five stopping 38-of-39 shots on goal. He’s been the main reason this team is back in the driver’s seat one game away from glory. Entering this game, he is the new favourite to the win the Conn Smythe Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player paying +125. He is one win away from setting a new NHL record for most wins by a rookie goaltender in a single postseason with 16.

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

Of note, the NHL Player Safety Department handed down a one-game suspension to forward Ivan Barbashev for an illegal check to the head on Bruins forward Marcus Johansson.
