Boston Bruins at Toronto Maple Leafs Preview & Picks

Boston are tipped to bounce back from their Game 2 defeat.

Despite that loss the Bruins have dominated Toronto in recent seasons, and that makes them an appealing road underdog.

  • Boston Bruins are 8-1 in their last 9 meetings with Toronto
  • Boston Bruins have won their last 3 games in Toronto
  • Boston Bruins are 7-3 in their last 10 road games
  • The Under has cashed in 5 of the last 7 meetings

Head To Head

  • Boston Bruins won the regular season series 4-0
  • This NHL Playoff series is tied 1-1
  • Toronto Maple Leafs won 3-2 when the two teams last met on April 22

Boston Bruins Form

Boston head to Toronto looking to bounce back from a home defeat that left the series knotted at 1-1.

The Bruins booked their place in the postseason by compiling a 47-20-15 record in the regular season, but entered the playoffs cold.

They were beaten in three of their final four games, losing 4-1 at home to Carolina, before failing to build on a 6-4 victory over Pittsburgh as they lost 2-0 to Washington and 3-1 to Ottawa.

Boston made a return to winning ways in their opening postseason game, as they cruised to a 5-1 win over Toronto in Game 1, but they failed to follow it up.

The Bruins blew two leads and gave up a late goal to Auston Matthews as they lost 3-2 to the Maple Leafs on Monday night.

Toronto Maple Leafs Form

Toronto return home with some momentum after taking Game 2 in Boston to level up the series at 1-1.

The Maple Leafs put together a 46-26-10 record in the regular season to earn a playoff place, but they struggled over the final few games.

Their final regular season win came on April 9 when they beat New Jersey 5-2 - a victory that was followed by four consecutive defeats.

Toronto lost 6-5 to New Jersey, 5-4 (OT) to Detroit, 5-2 to Florida and 6-4 to Tampa Bay as they closed out the regular season.

The Maple Leafs then lost their opening game of the playoffs, 5-1, but they showed resilience in the second meeting in Boston, as they snatched a 3-2 victory.

Verdict

Toronto took the last game and have home advantage, but we are still riding with Boston.

The Bruins have won the last few meetings on the Maple Leafs' ice, and they head to Canada on a good run of form on the road.
