All three matchups head to pivotal Game 6 tonight: Sabres at Bruins (7:30 p.m. ET), Lightning at Canadiens (7 p.m. ET), and Golden Knights at Mammoth (10 p.m. ET), with mixed home-ice edges. Recent Game 5 thrillers on April 30 saw Vegas rally in double OT for a 5-4 road win, Montreal edge Tampa 3-2, and Boston steal a 2-1 OT victory despite trailing 3-1 in the series, underscoring defensive battles and goaltending as key differentiators amid no major new injuries. Game 7s loom Sunday if needed, keeping upset potential alive.
