3 Betting Tips for Bruins vs Maple Leafs
1. Pastrnak Top Player Prop Pick
Boston winger David Pastrnak figures to have an extra jump when he hits the ice. He was benched for the entire third period in Boston’s last game after committing a turnover late in the second period of a win against Seattle.

Pastrnak leads Boston with six goals this season. One of them came in the first meeting of the season against the Maple Leafs. He has three goals and five assists in his last four regular-season games against the Maple Leafs. The NHL lines have Pastrnak at +120 to score against Toronto once again.
The Maple Leafs will be without Matthews and that hurts since he has scored seven goals in the last eight regular-season matchups with Boston. Take a look at the +180 odds for John Tavares to score a goal with your NHL picks.

2. Bet Maple Leafs vs Bruins to Land Under Total
After playing four of the last five games on the road, the Maple Leafs are happy to be home. In the lone home game during that stretch, William Nylander scored twice in a 4-1 win over Seattle. Toronto managed just three goals in road losses to St. Louis and Minnesota.
Next up is a matchup with a Boston team that has posted shutouts in its last two games. Is that a sign that the perennial title contenders have cleaned up some of the defensive issues that had the Bruins fighting to stay out of last place in the Atlantic Division before the back-to-back wins?

Those who bet online might feel better about taking the Boston-Toronto game to land under if the total was set at 6.5. With a 6-goal total, it might be a little riskier option.
Go with the game to go under even if three of the last five times that the Bruins played in Toronto, the game landed over the total.
Bet Bruins vs Maple Leafs Under 5.5 goals
3. Go With the Maple Leafs To Finally Beat Boston
The playoff failures of the Maple Leafs against the Bruins are well documented. The results in the regular season aren’t anything to write home about, either.
Tuesday’s matchup will be two years to the day that Toronto last topped the Bruins in the regular season. These teams are pretty evenly matched and at some point, Toronto will be the ones congratulating the goalie after a win.
Going with Toronto to win outright and Boston to cover could be the best way to proceed in NHL predictions.
