St. Louis Blues at Minnesota Wild (-135, 5)
Wild lead series 3-2

With home ice not presenting much of an advantage, the St. Louis Blues hope to continue that trend and stave off elimination when they visit the Minnesota Wild on Sunday afternoon in Game 6 of their Western Conference first-round series. The Wild bounced back from a 6-1 drubbing at home in Game 4 with a 4-1 victory in St. Louis to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.

"Game 6 is obviously going to be a great challenge," Minnesota coach Mike Yeo said. "I think we're very aware that home ice has not been a huge advantage in this series. That's going to be a great challenge." The Blues, champions of the Central Division, are trying to avoid their third consecutive first-round ouster after blowing 2-0 series leads in the playoffs in each of the past two seasons. “This thing’s going to push you right to the brink multiple times,” St. Louis defenseman Alex Pietrangelo said, “so it’s a good test for us to regroup here and bring this thing back to home ice in Game 7.” The teams have alternated wins and losses in the first five games, with the last four contests decided by at least three goals.

TRENDS:

*Blues are 13-6 in the last 19 meetings.
*Wild are 1-4 in their last 5 games following a win.
*Over is 4-1-2 in the last 7 meetings.
*Over is 5-1-2 in Wild last 8 Conference Quarterfinals games.


Montreal Canadiens at Ottawa Senators (-120, 5)
Canadiens lead series 3-2

Although the Ottawa Senators were lovin' "The Hamburglar" during the regular season, they seem to be pretty fond of Craig Anderson as well. Anderson, who has stopped 73 of the last 74 shots he faced to help the Senators twice stave off elimination, will need to be at his best on Sunday as the team hosts the Montreal Canadiens in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference first-round series.

"He has a history of being a real good goalie in crucial games in the playoffs," Ottawa coach Dave Cameron said of Anderson, who trimmed Montreal's series lead to 3-2 after making 45 saves in Ottawa's 5-1 triumph in Game 5 on Friday. "I don't know why anyone's surprised." The Senators have played well with their backs against the wall in 2014-15, posting a 23-4-4 season-ending run to qualify for the playoffs. Defenseman Tom Gilbert scored early in the third period of Game 5 for the Atlantic Division-champion Canadiens, ending Anderson's shutout streak at nearly 102 minutes.

TRENDS:

*Home team is 18-8 in the last 26 meetings.
*Canadiens are 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss of 3 or more goals.
*Over is 8-3-2 in the last 13 meetings.
*Over is 7-3 in Senators last 10 home games.

Preview: Canadiens (50-22) at Senators (43-26)


Date: April 26, 2015 6:00 PM EDT

The Ottawa Senators had no shortage of confidence during their second-half playoff push, though some self-doubt may have crept in after three consecutive playoff losses.


A dominant showing in Game 5 against Montreal quickly resolved that issue.


Two wins shy of extending their spectacular run, the Senators may have stolen the momentum from the Canadiens as the series shifts back to Ottawa for Sunday night's Game 6.


Ottawa suffered three one-goal defeats to open their first-round tilt with the Canadiens - two of them in overtime - but has rebounded nicely with a gritty 1-0 victory and a 5-1 rout Friday in Game 5.


"Stringing together those two wins, that brings a lot of life to this club," Marc Methot said. "It asserts ourselves. We know now that we can do this. ... When you come out of the gate and you're down 3-0 in the series, a lot of stuff runs through your mind.


"It shows how resilient this group is. How mentally strong we can be, and tough. I like our chances."


Craig Anderson, who took over Ottawa's goaltending duties in Game 3, earned the 1-0 shutout Wednesday before stopping 45 shots Friday in Montreal.


For a matchup in which Canadiens star Carey Price figured to be the marquee attraction, Anderson has been the most dominant goaltender of the series, allowing only three goals in three games with a .976 save percentage.


His stifling play finally got under the Canadiens' skin in the third period Friday. With 2:03 left, Brandon Prust speared Anderson to set off a scuffle with the netminder.


"There's certainly frustration on their part," Senators coach Dave Cameron said. "A sure sign of frustration is when they're taking cheap shots at your goaltender, who's a real good player for us."


Price snapped a string of impressive starts with five goals allowed on 25 shots Friday - an .800 save percentage that matches the third-worst playoff performance in his career.


Price, who was named a Vezina Trophy finalist earlier in the day, had surrendered just one goal in each of his previous two games.


"The solutions can be found in this room," Price told the Canadiens' official website. "We still have room to maneuver. They're still the ones with their backs against the wall. You can't really talk about pressure just yet."


The Senators received an offensive boost in Game 5 from Bobby Ryan, who scored two goals to snap a 16-game drought that dated to March 21. The four-time 30-goal scorer netted only 18 this season - the fewest for a full season in his career.


Erik Karlsson also scored Friday to continue his stellar play. The former Norris Trophy winner has tallied a point in four of the series' five games, and had three goals and three assists in four regular-season matchups with Montreal.


Montreal's offense has gone cold following its 2-1 overtime win in Game 3, scoring just once over Ottawa's two wins. Although the Canadiens' shot totals remain high - 46 in Game 5 - they're aware that they'll need activity in front to beat the red-hot Anderson.


"We have to take away his eyes," said Price. "When you go up against a hot goaltender, the recipe isn't a complicated one. You have to create traffic in front of him and capitalize on rebounds. It's no secret to anybody."


The Senators won both regular season meetings with Montreal in Ottawa.
