The Boston Bruins to avoid a 2-0 hole when they play host to the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 2 of their best of seven National Hockey League Eastern Conference Finals match-up.Despite having lost Game 1 to the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning, the home-team Boston Bruins remains the favorite to roll past the latter in Game 2.Having a better record in the NHL regular season, the Boston Bruins remains the favorite to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning in this game and the entire series.Coming into Game 2, the confidence of the Boston Bruins is further boosted with the expected return of star forward Patrice Bergeron from injury.
The key for winning for the Boston Bruins is for Bergeron to have a good game in Game 2 for them to tie their series 1-1 and avoid a 0-2 hole.The key for the Bruins to win this game is to play solid in both offence and defense.
The home-team Bruins must learn to score big in this game and defend well at the same time.The team might have lost Game 1 to the Lightning but they have a good chance of tying this series if they can play with 110 percent energy and their A-game come game-time.
The visiting Lightning for its part can defeat the Bruins and take a commanding 2-0 lead in this series if they can continue their brilliant play in Game 1.The Lightning might be the underdog in Game 2 but they can still prevail if they play as a team and give it their all on game day.
Having beaten the Bruins in Game 1, the Lightning are themselves very confident of their chances in Game 2 against the favored Bruins team.
