The Boston Bruins are one of four NHL teams that can wrap up their first-round series on Tuesday night.
The Bruins, up 3-1 in their series against the Toronto Maple Leafs, were in the same position last season, only to be stunned by the Florida Panthers.
"To steal a line from Bill Belichick, the most important thing is we eliminate outside noise," coach Jim Montgomery told reporters. "We just focus on Toronto and just focus on what's at hand Tuesday, staying in the moment, focusing on our process that drive results. ... Hopefully, that's part of the experience we've learned from last year."
Other potential elimination games Tuesday: The Carolina Hurricanes over the New York Islanders, Colorado Avalanche over the Winnipeg Jets and Vancouver Canucks over the Nashville Predators.
Here's a look at Tuesday's NHL games:

Bruins vs. Maple Leafs: What to know
NHL leading goal scorer Auston Matthews didn't take part in Monday's Maple Leafs practice but the plan was for him to travel with the team to Boston. He missed the third period of Game 4 because of an illness.
Hurricanes vs. Islanders: What to know
Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour tweaked all but one of his lines in Monday's practice. The top line of Sebastian Aho between Jake Guentzel and Andrei Svechnikov remained intact. Jordan Staal found himself between scoring wingers Teravainen and Seth Jarvis, Jack Drury had Jordan Martinook and Martin Necas on his wings and Jesperi Kotkaniemi dropped to the fourth line with Evgeny Kuznetsov and Stefan Noesen.
Jets vs. Avalanche: What to know
The Jets had ugly injuries in back-to-back games. Brenden Dillon suffered a gash on his hand during a Game 3 scrum and Vladislav Namestnikov has a fractured cheekbone after getting hit by a teammate's shot in Game 4. "He's a tough kid," coach Rick Bowness said. "I never rule anybody out." On Dillon, he said, "We're not going to put him in harm's way. ... He'd play with two broken hands if he could - if we let him. But we'll make the right decision based on what's best for him. We're not going to put him out there unless we're 100 percent sure there could be no more damage done."
Canucks vs. Predators: What to know
Canucks coach Rick Tocchet didn't commit to a goalie for Game 5. Casey DeSmith played in Games 2 and 3 after an injury to Vezina Trophy finalist Thatcher Demko. Arturs Silovs won Game 4 with DeSmith unavailable. "It goes by hour," Tocchet said Monday. 'We'll see how Casey is today."
