Boston outshot the Maple Leafs 42-30 in Game 3, but Toronto pulled out a 4-2 victory to cut the series deficit to 2-1. However, the Bruins weren't expected to sweep the series and they did score 12 goals the first two games with its top line combining for 20 points. Tuukka Rask made 26 saves on Monday and he still is 34-14-5 on the season with a 2.36 goals-against average and .917 save percentage. The Bruins are 12-2 their last 14 games with two days rest and 19-7 their last 26 after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. Toronto has lost four of its last five following a win and the Leafs still are 18-41 their last 59 games against teams with .600 or better winning percentages. Look for Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak to avoid another game without getting a point. Look for Boston to bounce back, so play the Bruins.
