Thursday, May 23

Chicago had won eight games in a row vs Detroit, but they've lost last two, scoring a single goal each game; under is 14-3-3 in last 20 series meetings. Blackhawks are 5-3 in playoffs this spring, but just 1-2 on road, while Red Wings are 6-4, with three OT wins-- they're 3-1 at home, with two wins in OT. Home teams are 11-3 in this round of playoffs; Detroit has more power plays than Chicago, but is 0-11 on power play, while Chicago is 1-10. Blackhawks are better team, but this is rivalry where Detroit generally has had the upper hand, so pressure on Chicago to win this game and avoid falling into huge hole. The team that won the President's Trophy (Chicago) has the pressure on them tonight.

Boston outshot Rangers 25-13 in periods 2-3 in Game 3, as fourth line scored the winning goal, underlining depth of Bruin team that was on life support nine days ago vs Toronto. No team has won consecutive playoff series when they were down 2-0 in both series; that is the Rangers' plight; they need win here to avoid sweep. Boston is still just 3-12 in last 15 visits to Manhattan (3-3 in last six); they had lost seven of nine to New York before this series started. Rangers won nine of their last ten home games, with all of their three home playoff wins by a goal. Bruins scored 3+ goals in six of its seven playoff wins this spring, 1-1-2 in its three losses. Under is 11-5-3 in last nineteen series games.

Home teams are 11-3 in this round of Stanley Cup playoffs; home teams won 13 of last 14 King-Shark games, with San Jose losing last four games here. LA allowed a total of 13 goals in winning six of last eight games, streak that started after they fell behind 2-0 in St Louis series. Under is 9-2-2 in LA's last thirteen games; defending champs are 4-4 vs San Jose this year, with home side winning all eight games. Sharks are 6-2 in playoffs, losing only first two games in this series; they've scored total of nine goals in four road playoff games. Kings are LLWWWWWWLL so far in playoffs, going 5-0 at home, but pressure is on them here, as San Jose has momentum and better playoff record this month.

Thursday's NHL playoff action: What bettors need to know

Boston Bruins at New York Rangers (-113, 5)

Boston leads best-of-seven series 3-0.

After needing a historic comeback to win their first-round series, the fourth-seeded Boston Bruins can sweep the New York Rangers and advance to the Eastern Conference final with a victory at Madison Square Garden Thursday. Fourth-liner Daniel Paille set up defenseman Johnny Boychuk to tie Tuesday's contest before scoring the go-ahead goal with 3:31 remaining in the third period in Boston's 2-1 triumph in Game 3. Sixth-seeded New York has been hampered by a punchless power play, which is 0-for-10 in the series and 2-for-38 in the playoffs.

While a 3-0 series lead is certainly advantageous, Boston can attest that it's not a death sentence. After dominating the first three contests of their 2010 second-round series with Philadelphia, the Bruins unceremoniously dropped the final four games to write an ugly chapter in the team's history. "You learn from the past, but you live in the moment. You don't live in the past," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "So right now, we're living in the moment and I like where our team is."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, CNBC, TSN, RDS

ABOUT THE BRUINS: Boychuk has scored in back-to-back contests to double his playoff total. That's not too shabby considering the defenseman registered just one goal in 44 games during the regular season. Speaking of blue-liners, Dennis Seidenberg skated during the team's optional practice Wednesday while Andrew Ference remained off the ice. Both are dealing with lower-body injuries while fellow defenseman Wade Redden - who skated Wednesday - is nursing an undisclosed ailment.

ABOUT THE RANGERS: New York was doing its best to look at the smaller picture when addressing its situation. "It's a tall task, but you can't look at the big picture," defenseman Ryan McDonagh said of the team's 0-3 hole. Adding to the Rangers' problems is the expected loss of fellow blue-liner Anton Stralman, who isn't likely to play in Game 4 after he absorbed a brutal hit from Milan Lucic Tuesday. "Losing Stralsy is a big blow," coach John Tortorella said. "To a defense that is lacking a little depth right now, it hurts us. ... We're down 0-3, (but) there's no sense in feeling pressure."

TRENDS:

* Rangers are 9-1 in their last 10 home games.
* Bruins are 4-0 in their last 4 overall.
* Under is 5-1 in Rangers last 6 vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
* Bruins are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.

OVERTIME:

1. New York is trying to avoid being swept in a series for the first time since its 2006 first-round loss to New Jersey.

2. The Bruins have received 11 goals in the playoffs from their blue-liners.

3. Rangers RWs Darroll Powe and Arron Asham played with Philadelphia during that fateful 2010 series against Boston.
