Game 1: 6 p.m. today at Boston, VS

No. 3. Bruins def. Canadiens 4-3 and Flyers 4-0.

No. 5 Lightning def. Penguins 4-3 and Capitals 4-0.

Spotlight on: Lightning LW Sean Bergenheim: The unheralded Finn never has had more than 15 goals in a regular season, yet he has seven in the postseason, playing on a productive line with Dominic Moore and Steve Downie.

Story line: Take the team that’s hot. Wait. Both are coming off second-round sweeps. Take the team with the vet goalie playing well in the postseason. Wait. Goaltender Tim Thomas is 37, his Lightning counterpart Dwayne Roloson 41. But here’s the deal: Roloson came off the scrap heap and despite his great work to get Edmonton to the Finals in 2006, the suspicion is he can’t keep it up this time.

The Post’s pick: Bruins in five games.
