We go to Boston for Game 3 vs the Bruins and Panthers. This series has started off with bang with each team winning 1 game. Both games have been physical and both games were blowouts.

The Bruins won the 1st game 5-1 and the Panthers won Game 2 6-1. These performances are kind of surprising given both teams have good goaltending. Going into Boston, I think we see much closer games.

Talking about the series being physical, we had a few fights in Game 2, and one was Pastrnak and Tkachuk. I wish there was a line on this but I'm sure not even Vegas had that on their bingo card.

Boston couldn't get their offense going last game, totaling only 15 shots and 1 goal. Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovsky had it easy but will need to be on his toes in TD Garden. The Bruins were 24-11-6 at home this season.

Goalie Jeremy Swayman is expected in net tonight. He was pulled in Game 2 after allowing 4 goals. It was the 1st time this playoff he allowed more than 2 goals in a game. His under goals allowed prop bet was making people money.

Florida looks to continue their momentum from Game 2

The Bruins' Charlie Coyle takes the faceoff against the Panthers.

The Panthers looked incredible last game. Captain Aleksander Barkov had 2 goals and Sam Reinhart had 4 assists. Their offense was absolutely buzzing from the 2nd period until the end of the game.

Boston committed 6 penalties and luckily for them, Florida only scored on one of them. Either way, the Panthers hit the game total over 5.5 goals on their own. Talk about a free bet.

Florida played a very fast paced game and through Boston off in my opinion. They completely shut down their offense by controlling all the offense possession time.

Sergei Bobrovsky has played great. He had an easy game like mentioned before, only facing 15 shots. I think he'll be back to work in Game 3 with the Bruins at home.

Let's get into the odds and picks.

The Bruins proved they can beat the Panthers already and going home can be the perfect bounce back spot for them. They have to win at least 1 of these home games to stay in this series.

I like them for the bounce back and getting the win. This Bruins team is good even though they just got spanked. I think they make the right adjustments to play better offensively.

Goaltending is going to be the biggest piece for the Bruins. Swayman needs to play better than last game and the defense has to protect him.

They're going to make the adjustments needed and get a big Game 3 win at home. I like Pasta to score a goal at +130 0dds. He's going to come in fired up after the fight last game.
