Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this game. Boston is 15-6 SU in its last 21 games when playing Toronto and 7-3 SU in its last 10 games when playing on the road against Toronto. Toronto is 5-16 SU in its last 21 games and 1-4 SU in its last 5 games at home. Boston has the third least power play chances in the league at 2.9 per game. Both teams have won three of their last five games.
Zdeno Chara and Kevan Miller are both out for the Bruins. Boston losing their big man is a real big deal. I’m not sure that this Bruins team is the same team it has been the last few years without Chara. The Maple Leafs should be able to get plenty of scoring chances in front of it’s home crowd tonight. Maple Leafs will be without Brandon Kozun and David Booth. However, with this being the Bruins first game back without Chara I’m not sure they will be able to have their defense in check. The Maple Leafs also come into this game with fresh legs haven’t not played since October 21st. Rask will be in net for the Bruins and Bernier will be in net for the Maple Leafs.
Maple Leafs come into this game as the slight underdog. The Maple Leafs are 2-2 as an underdog this season. With Chara out and the home crowd in front of them I see no reason why the Maple Leafs can’t pull this one out. So far 60% of all Off-Shore bettors are siding with the Bruins. I believe Bruins may very well be the better team when healthy, even with the injuries they get the respect of the opening line favorite. However, I firmly believe by the start of game the Maple Leafs will be the favorite.
