Joseph Woll (12-11-1, 2.94 GAA, .907 SV%) vs. Jeremy Swayman (25-10-8, 2.53 GAA, .916 SV%, 3 SO)

Woll has been the unsung hero for the Maple Leafs in this series. After G Ilya Samsonov, who is the Leafs main goalie, started the series, Woll has replaced him with a 2-0 record in his 2 starts. He has allowed just 2 goals in his 3 appearances in the series.

Swayman has been in the net for the Bruins in all games but 1 in this series and has a 3-2 record. He has allowed just 8 goals in that span for a GAA of 1.60 and SV% of .947, both better than his season averages.

Maple Leafs at Bruins picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 3, Maple Leafs 2

Moneyline

BET BRUINS (-135).

While Boston has lost back-to-back games, it returns to its home ice Saturday where it will have the roaring crowd and momentum back on its side. Boston has struggled offensively in the past 2 games, scoring 1 goal in each contest, but has scored 7 goals combined in its previous 2 games at home in this series.

Toronto has not scored more than 3 goals in any game in this series.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

The moneyline has better value for the Bruins.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 5.5 (-135).

The Over has failed to hit in each of the last 5 in this series, with the Maple Leafs scoring 2 or fewer goals in 5 of the 6 games. Both goalies who are expected to start have played phenomenally and will help the Under hit.

Maple Leafs at Bruins picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 4, Maple Leafs 3

Moneyline

BET BRUINS (-165).

Returning home with a commanding lead, look for the Bruins to amp up the pressure in order to put this series away. They have won back-to-back games, both on the road, and have the Leafs on the ropes. They have not allowed more than 3 goals in any game this series and have scored 3 or more in 3 of the 4 games.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

While there is a chance for Boston to cover the -1.5 (+155) puck line, the moneyline is a safer play. If it comes down to their season on the line, the Maple Leafs would send the all-out attack and could sneakily erase a deficit.

Over/Under

BET OVER 5.5 (-120).

Boston has scored 3 or more goals in 3 of the 4 games thus fare with the teams scoring 6 or more goals in 2 of the 4 games. In a crucial Game 5, with the Bruins trying to put the Leafs away and the Leafs fighting to keep their season alive, expect a fast-paced, high-attack game resulting in more goals.

Toronto Maple Leafs at Boston Bruins odds, picks, and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Toronto Maple Leafs at Boston Bruins odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Toronto Maple Leafs (41-19-5) hit the road to face the Boston Bruins (41-19-5) at TD Garden Tuesday. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we look at the Maple Leafs vs. Bruins odds and lines, and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

The Maple Leafs worked over a good Florida Panthers team by a 5-2 score Sunday. That was a bounce back from an embarrassing 4-2 defeat at the Eastern Conference last-place Montreal Canadiens Saturday.

The Bruins have registered four consecutive wins to pull into a third-place tie with the rival Maple Leafs in the Atlantic Division. Boston has also won seven of the previous eight games, including a 6-3 win Saturday against the New York Islanders last time out.

Maple Leafs at Bruins odds, spread and lines

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 7:20 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Maple Leafs +110 (bet $100 to win $110) | Bruins -135 (bet $135 to win $100)
  • Against the spread (ATS): Maple Leafs +1.5 (-240) | Bruins -1.5 (+175)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 6.5 (O: +100 | U: -125)

Maple Leafs at Bruins projected goalies

Erik Kallgren (2-2-1, 2.49 GAA, .917 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Jeremy Swayman (19-8-3, 2.09 GAA, .925 SV%, 3 SO)

The rookie Kallgren is expected to get the starting nod. He allowed 3 goals on 17 shots in Saturday’s loss in Montreal for a second consecutive road loss since a 2-0-1 start to his career.

Swayman has actually been better on the road than at home, although he is still a solid 8-5-1 with a 2.52 GAA and .906 SV% at home. This will be his first career start against the rival Maple Leafs.

Maple Leafs at Bruins odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 4, Maple Leafs 2

Money line

The BRUINS (-135) are actually a pretty strong value on home ice, as the Maple Leafs have dropped three in a row on the road. Toronto is also 0-4 in its last four as a road underdog, and traditionally it doesn’t play very well in Boston. The Bruins have won nine of the previous 12 meetings in New England.

Against the spread

The BRUINS -1.5 (+175) are worth a shot on the puck line.

Boston has been red-hot lately. While just two of its seven wins in the past eight games have been by more than 1 goal, each of Boston’s six wins in the previous 10 meetings in this series since April 13, 2019, ha2 been by 2 or more goals.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-125) is only worth playing lightly.

The Toronto goaltending situation is a little on the shaky side, and the offense is always capable of scoring plenty of goals. However, if there is a lean it’s to the Under based on Swayman’s play of late.
