Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins Prediction

The Boston Bruins have lost three of their last four games, and their offense continues to run hot and cold. It’s hard to take the Bruins seriously on the road against above-average teams. The Toronto Maple Leafs are at home, where they’ve seen 15 of their 24 wins take place. The Maple Leafs have also picked things up defensively as of late, and that’s when they’re at their best. We know the Maple Leafs can score, but when they’re locked in defensively, that’s when you can make a case for them to make a deep playoff run. The Maple Leafs shut out the Bruins back in November. The Bruins have seen 10 of their 16 losses come on the road. Give me the Maple Leafs and the reasonable price on Saturday.
