Think I've gotten a colonoscopy more often in life (one) than I have played an Under 5.5 in an NHL game. But have to here with not only Auston Matthews out for Toronto but also Boston forward Danton Heinen, who had 17 goals and 19 assists during the regular season. He has five shots and an assist in the series. Here's hoping for 2-2 at the end of regulation because I'd really like to see OT and a Toronto win in front of that rabid fan base -- plus then we get a Game 7.

Bruins backers might be thinking "here we go again" after the Tuesday loss to the Leafs, similar to last spring's playoff first round vs Florida, when top-seeded Boston failed to wrap up the series in the same OT manner in Game Five, eventually losing the series on another OT decision in Game Seven. Bruins players have been hearing the comparisons ad nauseum since Tuesday, when even a sans-Auston Matthews Toronto managed to stay alive. The Leafs, however, have a litany of playoff failures longer than the Bruins, and we'll see how long GK Joseph Woll delivers for Toronto. The Leafs have also yet to solve Jeremy Swayman, though Jim Montgomery loses little if opting for Linus UIllmark tonight. Play Bruins on Money Line
