Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins Prediction: Boston is stronger

Prediction for the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins match, which will take place on February 2. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Toronto has been good this season, but they have been faltering from time to time. For example, the Maple Leafs had three wins over tough opponents in the previous five games. Still, they managed to lose to Montreal (2:3) and Ottawa (2:6). As a result, the team has 70 points in 51 meetings, second in the Atlantic Division standings and third in the entire East. After losing to the Senators, Toronto was able to defeat Washington 5:1.

Boston is showing incredible hockey in the current campaign. The Bruins lead the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference standings with 81 points after 50 games. Moreover, they are ahead of second-place Carolina by a highly respectable seven points. After six wins in a row, they lost first to Tampa Bay (2:3), then to Florida (3:4), and the day before to Carolina with the score of 1:4.

Bookmaker experts consider Boston a slight favorite for the upcoming game, even though they lost in their three previous meetings. We agree with them - the Bruins understand that they need to improve perfectly. Otherwise, they will lose their lead in the NL East. That's why the visitors are going to take this game very seriously. Toronto is good, but they have many weaknesses so Boston can do it for sure. We suggest betting on their final victory (taking into account overtime and shootout).
