Boston was able to break a streak of three defeats only in the first match with Carolina. Before that, the team had absolutely nothing to do in the attack and it could not score more than two goals per game. Note that the Bruins were clearly not in the best shape for the playoffs, so it will be incredibly difficult for them to go far down the grid. The duel with Hurricanes was played well by David Pasternyak, who provided a puck and an assist. Bruce Cassidy’s team neutralized the opponent’s attempts to excel and spent most of the time in the zone. We emphasize that Tukka Rask reflected 25 out of 28 shots in aggregate and also looked great.
The Spark holds the fourth place in the Eastern Conference and, in principle, is prepared for the playoffs. Compared to last season, the team has added several times, so it will be interesting to watch how Eric Spoelstra’s guys show themselves in the knockout games Miami dealt with Indiana without any problems in the last fight (114-92). Another fantastic match was played by Jimmy Butler, who chalked up a double-double. As you can see, the club is moving in the right direction and has turned from a strong middle peasant into one of the leaders of the East. There is a serious confrontation with Oklahoma ahead, but we can say that Hit is ready for it.
