Boston at Buffalo

The Boston Bruins played tough in the opener but dropped a 2-1 decision. There is an old gambling philosophy that says, "The team in need is the team indeed." That certainly applies to the Bruins in this one. The Bruins have really been a better team when Tuukka Rask has been inserted behind the net, and his recent performance has been spectacular. Rask has allowed just 10 goals in his last seven behind the net. The Bruins own a stellar 33-16 mark vs. the Northeast, and the Sabres are just 1-4 when facing an opponent that scored 2 or less in their last game. I'll go with the Bruins to even the series.
