Leading scorers: Sabres: Derek Roy 26-43—69. Bruins: Patrice Bergeron 19-33—52.

Outlook: Gee, what are the odds of this being a low-scoring series? The Bruins ranked 29th this season with 206 goals and these two teams have the NHL’s top two goalies in save percentage and goals-against average. Boston’s Tuukka Rask is at .931 and 1.97, with Buffalo’s Ryan Miller at .929 and 2.22. The Sabres had a better home record (25-10-6, vs. Boston’s weak 18-17-6).

Pick: Sabres in six.
