Boston won its fourth in a row with a 3-2 victory in Game 1 of this series as Jaroslav Halak had 35 saves against Tampa Bay on Sunday. David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand each had a goal and an assist as the Bruins are doing just fine without starting goalie Tuukka Rask, who opted out of the rest of the playoffs. The Bruins have allowed a total of only seven goals their last four games, and they are 9-1 their last 10 games playing with one day of rest and 53-21 after allowing two or fewer goals their previous game. Also, the Bruins are 21-8 their last 29 games overall. Boston is starting to play like the team that led the league in regular-season points and wins. Take the Bruins for a Max Play.
