The Philadelphia Flyers and the Boston Bruins will play the third game of their series this Wednesday. The Bruins are currently up 2-0 in the series and they have forced the Flyers into somewhat of a “must-win” situation.

NHL Betting has Boston as a -140 moneyline favorite and the total at 5.5.

The Bruins started off the series in dominating fashion. The series looked like it would be an evenly matched series, but the Bruins came out with some fire. They put the puck in the net 7 times in the first game, showing their offensive prowess. They also had a decent game defensively, limiting the Flyers to 3 goals in the game. With this effort they managed to go up 1-0 in the series.

The Flyers came out with a better effort in the 2nd game and forced the game to overtime, as the score was tied 2-2 at the end of regulation. The Bruins came through in the clutch, scoring a goal to take a 2-0 series lead.

The bad news for the Flyers is that they lost their two home games and now they’ll have to win the next couple games in Boston. While these teams both were good road teams in the regular season, the advantage of playing at home seems to be much more demonstrated in the playoffs. Look for the Boston fans to get involved to support their team through this 3rd game.

If the Bruins can win, they’ll go up 3-0 and be just one win away from securing the series. This would be a big win as they are actually the lower seeded team in this series.
