A controversial non-call late in Game 5 helped push St. Louis to a 2-1 victory and is now one game away from lifting Lord Stanley’s Cup. Jordan Binnington made 38 saves in Game 5 and his Blues are a -125 to end the series with the Bruins coming back at -105 and the total opened at 5 goals.
The Bruins have definitely played better on the road than they have at home in this series and in the playoffs overall, falling just three times, once to Toronto, once to Columbus and in Game 4 of this series with St. Louis. Meanwhile, the Blues have done just enough to get by at the Enterprise Center with four of their six home wins coming by just one goal. Boston hasn’t had a three-game losing slide since mid-March and I anticipate it to come out flying and force a Game 7.
