The Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins are both -110 as the game is a Pick'Em, while the over/under is set at six goals with the under juiced to -120.

Toronto has lost two straight games in a row and now goes on the road to play the Bruins, which is a tough place to play. Boston has been solid defensively, and even if Swayman gets the start, he still should be able to shut down this Maple Leafs offense.
