Boston is 12-4 since Bruce Cassidy took over as coach. The Bruins have also won four of their last five games even after losing 7-4 at Edmonton on Thursday while playing road games on back-to-back nights. The Bruins have had three days off and look to avenge a 6-5 loss to the Maple Leafs on Feb. 4 under the previous regime. Tuukka Rask had an off night against the Oilers, allowing five goals before Anton Khudobin took over in goal, but Rask still is 33-17-4 with a 2.32 goals-against average and .912 save percentage this season and he had won his previous three starts. Toronto comes off a 2-1 overtime loss to Chicago on Saturday when Auston Matthews scored the only goal for the Leafs and Frederik Andersen made 37 saves. Andersen has a 2.67 GAA and .918 save percentage. Toronto is only 25-64 over its last 89 games against winning teams and Boston has won 12 of its last 16 against Atlantic Division teams. Play the Bruins.
