Melbourne City finished second in the regular season and therefore got a place in the semifinals automatically. A few extra days of rest in comparison with the opponent can play a role in determining the finalist of the tournament. The team finished the championship with shock, having won five victories in eight matches. In the last game of the championship, Western United was defeated 3:1. We also note the winnings against the leader Sydney 2:0 and the fourth place Brisbane Roar 1:0. The only defeat happened on a visit to Newcastle Jets 1:2.
Boston’s leaders also woke up and this happened at an opportune moment. For example, Brad Marchand scored a puck and an assist, while David Pastrnyak scored the second goal. The Bruins looked very active in the opening game segment and constantly tried to strain Vasilevsky with throws, but then the activity decreased and because of this they almost gave up the victory. However, unlike the opponent, the team managed to score the puck in the majority. It is also necessary to say about the actions at the gate of Yaroslav Galak, who, in total, was able to reflect 35 shots and made fantastic saves. Game of “Boston” in the Cup is not much different from the regular season, except that Cassidy’s team began to succeed more in attack. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
