Maple Leafs at Bruins picks and predictions
Prediction
Bruins 3, Maple Leafs 2
Moneyline
BET BRUINS (-135).
While Boston has lost back-to-back games, it returns to its home ice Saturday where it will have the roaring crowd and momentum back on its side. Boston has struggled offensively in the past 2 games, scoring 1 goal in each contest, but has scored 7 goals combined in its previous 2 games at home in this series.
Toronto has not scored more than 3 goals in any game in this series.
Puck line/Against the spread
PASS.
The moneyline has better value for the Bruins.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 5.5 (-135).
The Over has failed to hit in each of the last 5 in this series, with the Maple Leafs scoring 2 or fewer goals in 5 of the 6 games. Both goalies who are expected to start have played phenomenally and will help the Under hit.
