Bruins Draw First Blood
The score sheet will show the Bruins scored five goals in their Game 1 victory over the Panthers, the team that ousted them from the playoffs last year after rallying from a 3-1 series deficit. However, the tale was told by the defensive heroics of Bruins netminder, Jeremy Swayman, who continues to dazzle in the postseason.
After Boston’s 5-1 victory in which Swayman turned aside 38 of 39 shots, the 25-year-old goalie has compiled a 1.49 goals against average with a sizzling .950 save percentage in his six playoff appearances. Swayman is playing like a man possessed and should he continue, this series will be over before you know it.
The Pick
The Bruins have not forgotten about their humiliating playoff upset by the Panthers last year as they have swept the four-game regular season series followed by a 5-1 Game 1 win. There is something personal going on and unlike last season, the Cats have been unable to muscle the Bruins this year.
Let’s watch this streak continue and cash a ticket at top-rated sportsbooks with Boston as a substantial road underdog.
