Islanders vs Boston: who will prevail?

The Islanders were losing in the series with a score of 1:2, and they simply couldn't create much on the ice. However, they were able to find their game and first leveled the score, winning 4:1, and then built on their success, beating the opponent away with a score of 5:4. It is unusual that in two previous games Barry Trotz's charges scored more than three goals because they usually play on the defensive.

Even though Semyon Varlamov conceded four goals in the last game, he acted very well and made several important saves. In total, the Russian goalie stopped 40 shots.

Bostonfind themselves in a difficult situation. It was extremely important for the Bruins to win at home. The defenders seem to work hard and block a lot of shots, but in the end, they still allow a lot of dangerous moments at their goal. David Pastrňák had a great game in the last match, he scored a double and gave an assist. However, even his efforts were not enough to win.

Even during the regular season, the Bruins faced serious difficulties when they conceded more than two goals in a game because their actions in attack leave much to be desired.
