Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Best Picks and Prediction

What has shown us anything that the Boston Bruins are going to slow down anytime soon? Toronto has failed to show that they can be a capable offense this season, and until they can prove it, I will not buy it. Boston is scoring 4.45 goals per game while Toronto is averaging just 2.91 goals.

The under feels right as both defenses have been playing well lately in their last five games, the Bruins are allowing 1.8 goals per game while the Maple Leafs have given up 3.4 goals per game in that stretch.
