Knights have been struggling of late. Probably the usual post-Cup fatigue and slight lack of motivation in the dog days more than anything else, plus a couple of injuries. As they showed in Toronto, they can very much still bring it when they need to. Expect they'll be dialled in for this one for the sake of Cassidy if nothing else.
Should be a good game. Bruins are going to need to have their legs and manage the bench and their minutes well. Vegas roll all four lines very consistently so there's very little drop off from one to the next. Boston needs to be ready for that and prepared for a full 60 minute battle. No Eichel or Stone for the Knights helps a little bit, but they can still do plenty of damage and their back end packs a punch.
Hopefully yet another OT is avoided but I have a suspicion that's exactly what we're going to get.
