The Toronto Maple Leafs continued their dominance of the Boston Bruins with a 3-2 overtime victory Friday night. With that win, the Leafs have now won the past five against the Bruins while outscoring their Atlantic Division rivals 21-11. The Leafs and Bruins round up their home-and-home series in Boston Saturday night.
- The Bruins are 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games at home.
- The Maple Leafs are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games vs divisional opponents.
- The Bruins are 1-6 SU and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games at home against teams with winning records.
It seems as though the Leafs have rectified some recent struggles, as the team has won three straight games heading into this one. The Leafs – who had gone just 2-6 before this mini-streak – have seen a better defensive effort, allowing just seven goals in the past three.
The Bruins are trending in the opposite direction with Boston failing to record back-to-back wins once this season. Zdeno Chara and company are in the bottom half of the league in goals and goals allowed but in the top five in both Sportsbook percentage and penalty kill percentage, which makes one believe that they can turn it around.
