Bruins now have the edge in terms of potential home games (3 @ Boston vs 2 @ Chicago) and with less games in the series the variance increases thus lowering the edge for Chicago, whenever there is less time to determine an outcome the odds always get tighter (ie if a -200 favorite in hockey goes to OT they will be favored -145 at most, score is tied but more volatility)
