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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Toronto Maple Leafs (36-18-8) and the Boston Bruins (36-13-15) meet Thursday at TD Garden. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Maple Leafs vs. Bruins odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Maple Leafs outlasted the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 in overtime on Wednesday, rebounding nicely from a 4-1 loss to the Bruins on home ice Monday night. Toronto improved to 10-2-0 in the past 12 games, while the Under has cashed in 2 in a row and 3 of the past 4 outings, including the Boston game.

The Bruins lost 2-1 in OT to the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night, playing with no rest after toppling the Leafs in Toronto on Monday. The Under has cashed in the past 2 outings, while going 4-2 in the past 6 outings.

With Monday’s win, the B’s have won 6 consecutive meetings in this series, while Boston has won the past 3 on home ice, too. The total has gone low in 3 of the previous 4 meetings.

Maple Leafs at Bruins projected goalies

Joseph Woll (9-6-1, 2.82 GAA, .914 SV%) vs. Jeremy Swayman (20-6-8, 2.49 GAA, .921 SV%, 3 SO)

Woll turned aside 23 of the 27 shots he faced in Monday’s 4-1 loss against the Bruins. With the exception of a 3-minute span in the 1st period when he allowed an even-strength goal to Morgan Geekie, and a power-play goal to Pavel Zacha, Woll gave the Leafs a chance to win.

Swayman did win that previous meeting in Toronto, kicking aside 31 of the 32 shots he faced in the victory. With Linus Ullmark facing the Oilers, it’s Swayman’s turn in the goaltender rotation. The Alaskan native is 11-5-1 with a 2.30 GAA and .924 SV% with 2 of his season’s 3 shutouts at home.

Maple Leafs at Bruins picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 4, Maple Leafs 2

Moneyline

The BRUINS (-145) are moderate favorites, and they’re a sound bet on Thursday night in this rematch from Monday.

Boston has won 6 in a row in this series. And the Maple Leafs (+120) find themselves in the untenable position the B’s were in on Tuesday. Toronto played at home against Buffalo, and then had to hop a play to play a tough opponent on no rest. Granted, it’s not a long flight, but the charter flight of the Leafs didn’t arrive into Hanscom Field in suburban Boston until 1:08 a.m. ET, so it was a late night for the Buds.

The late night, and lack of rest, will favor the more rested Bruins.

Puck line/Against the spread

The BRUINS -1.5 (+155) are worth a roll of the dice at plus-money.

Boston crushed the Maple Leafs +1.5 (-190) in their barn, and now the Bruins get a chance to do it on their home ice surface. Boston covered the puck line on Monday, and there is no reason to believe its dominance in the series will suddenly cease.

Over/Under

The UNDER 6.5 (-125) is the lean, but you’ll have to pay a little extra.

The total has gone low in 3 of the past 4 meetings in this series, including 2 of the first 3 battles this season.

Toronto has consecutive Under results for the 1st time since Jan. 21-24, and the Under is 3-1 in the past 4 outings. For Boston, the Under has cashed in the past 2, and in 4 of the previous 6 contests.

Maple Leafs at Bruins projected goalies

Ilya Samsonov (12-4-1, 2.33 GAA, .914 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Linus Ullmark (22-2-1, 1.88 GAA, .938 SV%, 2 SO)

Samsonov allowed 3 goals on 22 shots in Thursday’s 4-1 loss in Detroit, and he has been a little up-and-down so far in January. He is 1-1-1 with a 2.94 GAA and .883 SV% in 3 outings in the month. The loss in Detroit was rare, as he entered that start 8-1-1 in the previous 10 outings.

Speaking of rare losses, Ullmark stopped 28 of the 30 shots he faced against the Kraken, but it was just his 2nd loss in regulation this season. It was the first time he received zero goals of a support, too.

Maple Leafs at Bruins picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 4, Maple Leafs 2

Moneyline

The BRUINS (-160) are moderate favorites at home, looking to bounce back after the stunning loss to the Kraken.

The B’s have managed 39 wins in the past 51 home games – a winning percentage of .765. They’re also 8-0 in the past 8 games after scoring 2 or fewer goals in the previous outing.

In addition, the Maple Leafs (+140) are 4-9 in the past 13 trips to Boston, and the underdog is 2-6 in the past 8 in the series.

Puck line/Against the spread

The BRUINS -1.5 (+140) are a decent play on the puck line at plus-money.

While Boston lost last time out against Seattle, it is still 3-1 in the past 4 games on the puck line as a favorite.

The Maple Leafs +1.5 (-180) haven’t been an underdog since Dec. 6, and Toronto is 6-0 in the past 6 games as a ‘dog on the puck line. So, there is some risk here.

Over/Under

OVER 5.5 (-135) is the lean, ever so slightly.

While the Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games for the Leafs, the Over is 37-16-3 in the past 56 games on the road, and 6-2-1 in the previous 9 meetings with the B’s.

The Under is 5-2 in the past 7 games for the Bruins, but the Over is an impressive 3-1-1 in the past 5 games following a loss of 3 or more goals.
