The Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins meet Monday in Game 2 East First Round NHL Playoffs action at the TD Garden. Here’s a Maple Leafs vs Bruins prediction.
Toronto Maple Leafs Betting Preview
The Toronto Maple Leafs look to even up the series before going home for Game 3 on Wednesday. The Toronto Maple Leafs are averaging 1 goal per Game and are scoring on 0 percent of their power play opportunities. David Kampf leads Toronto with 1 goal, Ryan Reaves has 1 assist and John Tavares has 6 shots on goal. Defensively, the Toronto Maple Leafs are allowing 5 goals per Game and are killing 60 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Ilya Samsonov has allowed 4 goals on 23 shots faced.
Boston Bruins Betting Preview
The Boston Bruins have a chance to take a quick 2-0 series lead, as they’ve won 10 of their last 16 Games. The Boston Bruins are averaging 5 goals per Game and are scoring on 40 percent of their power play opportunities. Jake DeBrusk leads Boston with 2 goals, Brad Marchand has 2 assists and Johnny Beecher has 3 shots on goal. Defensively, the Boston Bruins are allowing 1 goal per Game and are killing 100 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Jeremy Swayman has allowed 1 goal on 36 shots faced.
Maple Leafs vs Bruins prediction
I considered the Maple Leafs and the plus money because there’s enough offensive talent to give those odds a punchers chance. I also expect more success after struggling in a Game 1 loss. However, you don’t get the Bruins as soft home favorites often, and Boston is 25-11-6 at home this season. Also, the Bruins have won 8 straight Games against the Maple Leafs. The Bruins have outscored the Maple Leafs 13-3 in the last 3 Games. The Maple Leafs haven’t beat the Bruins since November 2022. Give me more bang for my buck, and I’d consider the Maple Leafs. Instead, I’ll side with History and lay the cheap price with the Bruins on their home ice.
