Maple Leafs vs Bruins Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Bruins to come out with a win against the Maple Leafs while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -139, I’m placing my bet on the Bruins to win outright.

If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Maple Leafs to cover. Even if the Bruins manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Maple Leafs should cover the puck line.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
