John Tortorella has guaranteed a win for the Blue Jackets in the game six. For his Blue Jackets team, if they are unable to get the win then they will be sitting at home the remainder of the post season and that is definitely not a place the Blue Jackets would like to be. After battling back in the 5th game of the playoff series, the Blue Jackets are definitely looking like a team that has regained their spark they had when they were able to sweep the Lightning in their series. The Bruins, for their part, were able to rely on their veteran leadership to help guide the team past the turmoil they had in the game, but it was definitely a challenge as the Blue Jackets have found their offensive stroke again.

Tukka Rask was in the net for the Bruins and he had been playing some amazing hockey until the 3rd period. In the 3rd period the Blue Jackets had a flurry of offensive production and were able to score 3 quick goals. Rask did face a total of 36 shots in the game and was able to turn away 33 of them, but almost allowed a penalty shot to get by him early in the game.
Sergei Bobrovsky faced fewer shots in the game, but allowed more of them to get by him in the game. He only faced a total of 36 shots in the game. The downside is Bob was also challenged quite a bit and in almost all of the shots they came off of a deflection or some type of blocking of his vision that did not allow him to see the puck clearly.
