NBCSNâs coverage of the 2021 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs continues with Wednesdayâs Game 6 between the Boston Bruins and New York Islanders. Bruins-Islanders stream coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET on NBCSN. You can watch the game online and on the NBC Sports app by clicking here.
Two straight wins have put the Islanders on the brink of the Stanley Cup Semifinals and a matchup with the Lightning. Wednesdayâs Game 6 is at Nassau Coliseum, which should be its usual loud self with a full house and fans ready to express their opinions towards Bruce Cassidy following his post-Game 5 comments.
Cassidyâs officiating complaints resulted in a $25,000 fine from the NHL and weâll now see Gord Dwyer and Dan OâRourke take charge of Game 6.
Refereeing aside, the Bruins have bigger fish to fry. Theyâve outshot the Islanders in the series, including 44-19 in Game 5, but chances are going missed, even after scoring four times on Monday. Thereâs also the question of whatever injury is bugging Tuukka Rask, who was swapped out in the third period for Jeremy Swayman the other night.
A win and they play again Friday night in Boston. A loss, and the Bruins see their season come to an end.
âThe fourth one is the hardest to win,â said defenseman Charle McAvoy. âWeâre going to New York to win a game, and thatâs all thatâs on our mind.â
