Bet Live: Blackhawks-Bruins Game 6

The Chicago Blackhawks have been pushed all the way by the Boston Bruins, but they can wrap up their best-of-seven Stanley Cup Finals with a win in tonight's Game 6 at Boston's TD Garden. The Bruins need a win to survive another day and push the series to a sudden death seventh encounter in Chicago on Wednesday night.

Both teams suffered injuries to key players during the pulsating fifth game at Chicago's United Center. The Blackhawks' Jonathan Toews, who was named the NHL's top defensive forward this year, finished the game on the bench after being struck on the head. Bruins star forward Patrice Bergeron watched the end of the game from hospital.

Whether or not one or both of these players recovers, the action is sure to be fast-paced on the Boston ice tonight. No game in this series has been decided by more than two goals, but the games have varied between three defensive struggles and two high-scoring free-for-alls, including Chicago's 6-5 OT win at Boston in Game 4.
