Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs betting picks and predictions

Toronto Maple Leafs to win (-125)

Toronto and Boston have both had somewhat inconsistent starts to the season. They each have six wins in 13 games, which is below their standards.

Toronto should have a much-higher sense of urgency, as they have lost the last two games and are slipping in the standings.

They will be without captain Auston Matthews in this game due to an upper body injury, but this could propel the rest of the team to step up and show they can come together and overcome this absence.

The Maple Leafs should also play with vengeance, and even up the series score after the Bruins beat them in overtime on October 26th. That's not to mention last year's playoffs, in which the Bruins dispatched the Leafs in seven games in the first round.

Toronto looks to have better depth than this Bruins team, and they are also on home ice. It will be another great edition of this rivalry, but the Maple Leafs look good to take this one.

Over 5.5 total goals (-105)

Even without Auston Matthews, this game is absolutely filled with stud offensive talents.

The Maple Leafs still have the likes of William Nylander and Mitch Marner to help out the strong supporting cast, while the Bruins should continue to lean heavily on their top dogs like David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand.

The goaltenders in this game will have their work cut out for them. In a combined effort, expect to see lots of goals in this game.

David Pastrnak Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (-160)

Without question, Pastrnak is one of the best scorers and most lethal shooters in the entire NHL.

Not only that, but he is a Maple Leafs killer, and often lights the lamp against them. He has 20 goals and 18 assists in 29 career regular-season games against them.

Expect Pastrnak to be flying yet again, peppering the Maple Leafs while trying to add to his impressive totals. The Bruins may also be down for extended periods of time in this game, and when they need a goal, they turn to their best goal scorer to get it done.
