Buffalo carried a 3-1 series lead after a dominant 6-1 Game 4 win in Boston, where the Sabres overwhelmed the Bruins early and got scoring depth throughout the lineup.

Alex Tuch, Bowen Byram and company have driven much of Buffalo’s offense this series, while the Sabres’ forecheck and transition speed have caused Boston problems. If Buffalo wants to avoid a tense winner-take-all scenario, cleaner puck management and a stronger start on the road will be critical.

Boston kept its season alive in Game 5 with a 2-1 overtime victory in Buffalo, trimming the deficit to 3-2 and shifting pressure back to the Sabres.

TD Garden should be loud, and if the Bruins can establish their physical style early, momentum could swing quickly.
