Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction
I’m on the Maple Leafs in this one. I just think that while both teams are hot right now, both also play their best hockey at home which clearly works better for Toronto in this situation. I think the Maple Leafs can find a way to get it done on home ice and extend their head-to-head win streak over Boston. Give me the Leafs in this one.
