The 2019 NHL Stanley Cup Finals will come down to the final game tonight.
Boston needed a win on the road in game 6 to extend the series and they came out firing. They won the game 5-1, but the floodgates didn’t open until the third period.

Brad Marchand scored a PPG in the opening period and that was the only goal until the final frame, which is when everything started to quickly fall apart for Jordan Binnington and the Blues.
2019 Stanley Cup Game 7 Odds
Money Line: Blues +150 vs. Bruins -170
Puck Line: Blues +1.5 (-200) vs. Bruins -1.5 (+170)
Game Total: Over 5.5 Goals (+140) vs. Under 5.5 Goals (-160)
The Bruins are back at home to close out the Stanley Cup Finals and after winning 5-1 on Sunday, they’re deserving favorites. Five players on Boston were around for the 2011 Stanley Cup game 7 against the Canucks, which they won 4-0, so they also have the experience advantage.
Who Will Win Game 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals 2019
I’ve been on the Blues throughout the playoffs, but I don’t see them getting it done. Sure, the Blues are 2-1 at TD Garden during the series, but Boston have too many edges for STL to overcome.
First off, who do you trust more in net? Tuukka Rask or Binnington? The Blues rookie netminder has been great in the playoffs, but Rask has been on another level, especially in elimination games. He has stopped 145 out of 149 shots (.973 SV%) in elimination games during this year’s playoffs.

St. Louis have done a better job killing penalties the last three games, as they’ve only allowed one PPG, but they also allowed a SHG during that span. They’ve also done well to shutdown the Bruins top line when playing 5-on-5, but the Bruins depth has stepped up and scored goals.
If I told you Patrice Bergeron didn’t have a single point playing 5-on-5 this series, would you think the Bruins would have forced a game 7? Bergeron has four points in the series, but none while playing even-strength. However, the Bruins have been getting offense from their defensemen.
Best Prop Bet for Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals 2019
The Blues have scored 3+ goals twice through six games of the Stanley Cup Finals. Rask has been amazing in elimination games and I can’t imagine him allowing 3+ goals in game 7.

This is going to be a hard-hitting finale and goals should be at a premium for both teams. I believe nerves could get the best of Binnington, but Rask has been here before. The Blues offense has been stagnant and once the Bruins get a lead, they can focus on tightening up defensively.
