Look for the Stanley Cup Finals to revert back to a defensive-minded matchup following the Bruins' 7-2 Game 3 road win against St. Louis this past Saturday night.

The Blues can't afford to take a second straight home loss down 2-1 in the series. In order to win, though, the Blues must cut back on their penalties. I believe they have the discipline to do that having been the least penalized team during the first three rounds of the Stanley Cup. Boston isn't going to draw any cheap calls either with this Game 4 being played in St. Louis.

The Bruins tighten things up on the road. The Under has cashed in five of their last six away games. Tukka Rask is the frontrunner to be named MVP in the playoffs. He's stopped 164 of 168 shots in his past five road starts. St. Louis is only 1-of-10 during its past 10 power plays.

Boston is surrendering just 1.6 goals per game in regulation during its last 16 games. The Blues have yielded two or fewer goals in eight of their last 12 games.
