After dropping the first match of the series, Bruins had a bad start to the secong game. Trailing after only 20 seconds into first period, they fought back to come back and win the game to tie the series. 

Their powerplay was much better than the first game and they scored 2 goals on the man advantage situations. Bolts are 8-1 in last 9 games and they have been the best performing team in playoffs so far. 4-8 home record against the Bruins do not look very promising but their performance so far in this playoffs is one of the reason I will side with them tonight.

Powered by Stamkos, St Louis and LeCavalier, their offense continue to produce against the Bruins. Despite Tim Thomas's excellent saves in first two matches, they were able to score 10 goals in Boston and I am sure they will be much better tonight on home ice. 

Bergeron is cleared to play tonight for the visiting Bruins while the Bolts are still without Kubina and Smaby.->Read more »

Outcome: 

Detroit has managed to come back from a 3rd period, 3-1 Sharks lead in 5th game thanks to Datsyuk and Lidstrom's stellar performances.

Sharks are not getting enough help from top players; Joe Thornton, Dany Heatley and especially Patrick Marleau.

Marleau is without a point in series against the Wings. 

Not only the poor form of the trio, postseason's leading scorer Ryane Clowe is not going to play tonight. That's a huge loss for the Sharks.

Sharks powerplay also struggled in the last game, failing on all chances which gave Detroit a chance to comeback and stay alive for 6th game.

At Joe Louis Arena, in front of their fans, Wings will have a chance to tie the series.
