NHL Stanley Cup Final Game Four Prediction: Boston Bruins vs. Vancouver Canucks

This NHL Stanley Cup Final Game Four will get underway on Wednesday night. The Vancouver Canucks vs. Boston Bruins is getting ugly as both teams are playing a physical brand of hockey. The game will be held in Boston, and the game will be televised on vs. with the puck dropping at 8:00pm eastern standard time.

The NHL Betting Odds have the Boston Bruins listed as -125 favorites on the money line for this game with the total set at 5. This is most likely due to the great performance in the previous game. In game three the Bruins finally awoke from their post season hibernation and were out for blood.

Two bad things happened to the Bruins in the first period Monday night at TD Garden. First, they lost Nathan Horton to a head hit. Then, they failed to score on the five-minute power play following the ejection of Aaron Rome.

But, after a scoreless first period, the B's erupted for four in the second and four in the third.

The B's scored two power play goals and two shorthanded goals in matching their highest scoring output of the season. They also got 40 saves from Tim Thomas, who came within 6:07 of his third shutout of these playoffs.

Mark Recchi scored two goals, Michael Ryder had a goal and two assists, Brad Marchand scored a spectacular shorthanded goal and Andrew Ference, David Krejci, Daniel Paille (shorthanded) and Chris Kelly also scored in the onslaught, all eight goals coming against Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo.

Now they look to bring that same intensity to game four of the series when the two teams meet. A win would tie up the series and make this another great reason to tune into this series.

The latest hockey sports betting trends for this game favor the home team. The favorite is 4-1 in the last five meetings and the Canucks are 1-6 in their last seven games following a loss of three or more goals. That is a sure sign that the Canucks will have trouble rebounding from a tough loss.

The Bruins hope that they have shattered the confidence of the Canucks goaltender and will be able to use it to their advantage in game four.

The Bruins are 36-15 in their last 51 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game, 13-6 in their last 19 overall, and 4-0 in their last four games as a home favorite. This game will be closer than game three, but not by much.

The Bruins have the home crowd and momentum as they head into game four. They are still in must-win mode that will equal a big win for the home team.
