My projections believe this is going to be a close game. But it's also seeing goals scored. At least higher scoring than oddsmakers are seeing. The Blues and Bruins average nearly six runs in my many simulations. Take the Over (-103) and expect nothing worse than a push.

The Bruins had their chance to take a commanding lead in the series in game 5, but Ryan O’Reilly and a phantom call on a trip had something to say about it. This Blues team has had that killer instinct in games 5-7 these playoffs that you only really see with Champions. They have a chance to win their first Stanley Cup and do it in St. Louis. I don’t think the Blues squander this opportunity.
