Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins predictions and betting tips

The Boston Bruins are in good form now. They have a streak of four victories. They beat strong rivals like the Panthers and the Rangers and played perfectly in the most recent game against the Buffalo Sabers. In the most recent H2H match against the Maple Leafs, they performed well, but their rivals were a bit stronger.

The Bruins have won four of the last seven H2H fixtures. They look a bit stronger now. I believe that the Bruins will extend the streak. We have seen a total of under 6.5 goals in six of the last eight head-to-head games and in 10 of the last 11 matches with the Bruins participating. This outcome looks safe too.
