Bruins vs Sabers Preview

The Bruins took the 2-1 series lead on the Sabers and Ryan Miller, and tonight is a very important game because if the Bruins win they have the series in hand, however, if they lose they give up home court(Ice). Tuuka Rask has been playing extremely well and the defense has been tenacious and have put an extremely physical effort.

The key question heading into Game 4 is whether Buffalo’s leading goal scorer Thomas Vanek (out since the second period of Game 2 with an ankle injury and spotted wearing a boot around the rink) will return to action. Buffalo has scored only twice in the last 100 minutes, and also could be without forward Matt Ellis, who took a solid check from Johnny Boychuk the other night and reportedly did not practice on Tuesday.

I expect an extremely chippy game and for it to be physical because a lot is on the line.

I believe Miller straightens out and Buffalo retakes home ice.
Buffalo: 4-2
Tommy Award: Ryan Miller
