Bruins' offense has struggled, averaging second-fewest playoff shots.

The Boston Bruins are on the brink of elimination and will host the Buffalo Sabres for Game 6 on Friday night. Following losses in Games 3 and 4, the Bruins managed to force a Game 6 with an overtime victory in Game 5, thanks to David Pastrnak's crucial goal.

This series has seen offensive struggles for Boston, who are averaging the second-fewest shots on goal in the playoffs. Forward Morgan Geekie, in particular, has recorded only eight shots through five games, continuing a trend from the end of the regular season.

With the total goal line adjusted by oddsmakers due to low-scoring affairs, the goaltending has been a highlight. Jeremy Swayman has performed well for the Bruins, while Alex Lyon has been a strong presence for the Sabres since taking over the starting role.

Predictions suggest another tight contest, similar to Game 5's 2-1 final score, with limited scoring opportunities expected for both teams.
