The Boston Bruins hopes to further strengthen its playoff dream when they visit the National Hockey Leading (NHL) Vancouver Canucks on Saturday evening.
The visiting Bruins (34-19-7) are the underdog in this game due to the superior record of the Canucks (39-14-9).
Bruins although the underdog in this game has a big chance for an upset since they are on are on a winning roll these days.
The Bruins have won three of its recent games and have a big chance of beating the Canucks who are not looking like an NHL leader in its past few games.
The key for the recent success of the Bruins is the inspired play of All-Star goaltender Tim Thomas.
Thomas has been instrumental to Boston’s success, but after surrendering 14 goals in three starts.
Bruins coach Claude Julien said they might be the underdog in this game but his ward has a good chance of winning if they can play as a team comes game-time.
To defeat the Canucks, Thomas needs to produce another solid defensive performance against the home-team.
The key factor for the Bruins to prevail in this game is to give their 101 percent effort in terms of offence and defense to topple the Canucks.
The home-team Canucks for its part is facing a huge challenge against the Bruins.
The home-team can avoid an upset if reliable goaltender Roberto Luongo can regain back his defensive stance against the Bruins.
Luongo needs to be at his best in this game to help the Canucks defeat the Bruins.
The key to victory for the Canucks in this game is to execute their game-plan well and to give their 101 percent effort come game-time.
