Leafs Have Owned the Bruins This Season

Monday night in the NHL features an absolutely massive rivalry game between the Bruins and Maple Leafs in Toronto with both teams scratching and clawing to get into the playoffs. The Leafs have taken all three of their matchups with the B’s this season but Boston has been a whole new team since Bruce Cassidy took over behind the bench, winning seven of its last 10 games.

SHARK BITES
  • The Bruins are 0-3 on the puckline in their last 3 games against the Maple Leafs.
  • The total has gone OVER in 6 of the Maple Leafs' last 8 games as home underdogs.
  • The total has gone OVER in the Bruins' last 5 games on the road.

With just 12 games left on the schedule, every game from here on is basically a must-win for the Leafs. They earned a crucial point in an overtime loss to the Blackhawks on Saturday and can move three points clear of the Islanders for the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference with a win this evening.

Both teams are exactly .500 in their home/away splits in terms of their win/loss record and both have the tendency to get torched if the mood strikes them that way. Monitor the health of Patrice Bergeron tonight and if he sits, you can probably go ahead and take the Leafs as home underdogs.

Toronto has a 14-7-3 record against other teams in its division this season and has averaged 4.67 goals in three games against Boston. I’ll almost always bet a dog at home but when it’s a team fighting for a playoff spot like the Leafs are – I’ll take them laughing all the way to the bank.
