Showdown in Atlantic Division

Can Toronto Take Down Boston Once Again?

Let’s check the latest NHL odds, stats, injury reports, and NHL lines for Maple Leafs vs Bruins. We’ve plenty of NHL betting odds for you to consider.

Matthews Questionable for Maple Leafs

The Maple Leafs are heading into this game with one of their best players and leaders potentially out with an injury. Auston Matthews is officially listed as day-to-day on the injury report, but indications are that he will suit up.

If, for some reason, he doesn’t, Toronto will be left without a top skater on the roster. He’s obviously one of their best offensive producers and is second on the team in points with 47, scoring 20 goals and adding 27 assists.

The Maple Leafs have depth but it will be tested against a team like Boston. There are three players on the roster that have scored more than 20 goals: Matthews, William Nylander, and John Tavares.

Not to mention that Mitchell Marner has 50 points and 16 goals of his own. Overall, the offensive talent really pops off the page with Toronto.

Bruins Setting Pace

Boston jumped out of the gates with purpose and the Bruins haven’t looked back. Coming into this matchup, they’ve only lost nine games total, with four of them coming outside of regulation.

The Bruins suffered their first regulation home loss of the season on Thursday night in a 3-0 setback to the Seattle Kraken.

When it comes to their rankings, they’re second in the NHL in goals scored per game and first in goals allowed per game. They rank first in save percentage and third in power play efficiency.

It’s hard to ignore the stellar play of goaltender Linus Ullmark. He’s 22-2-1 with a 1.88 goals-against average and a .938 save percentage.

Every single one of those stats ranks first among goaltenders in the NHL. That’s a big reason why the Bruins are where they are.
