NHL Betting – Bruins, Lightning For All The Marbles In Boston On Friday

Online Belmont betting players figure they’re going to get a race right down to the wire on June 11th at Belmont Park, and they can only hope for a finish as exciting as the one we should get in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final on Friday in Boston.

Lightning Bruins Betting – Friday, 8:00 PM ET

The Lightning went 3-of-4 on the power play in a 5-4 win over the Bruins at home in Game 6, and they got eight points from Martin St. Louis, Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier on the night. They still didn’t get a good performance from Dwayne Roloson, who had just 16 saves, but the Lightning overcame it.

Tim Thomas had his worst game of the series with 21 saves, but he was due after carrying the team for a lot of this series. David Krejci had a hat trick, while Milan Lucic added a goal for the Bruins, who made it interesting in the third period by not giving up when they were down by two goals. Now, they get a chance to close out the series at home.

The Bruins are -150 NHL betting favorites on Friday night at home, where they’ve won two of three against the Lightning in this series, and Boston eliminated Montreal at home in Game 7 of the first round, while Tampa Bay got the best of Pittsburgh on the road in the first round, so this is going to be a tight game. You have to go with the team that has the better goalie, so take Boston in your online sportsbook.
