Toronto stole a surprising win, 2-1, in Boston in game five 5, but the team has not won consecutive contests against the Bruins since a three-game streak in 2011 when they won twice on the road and once at home between February and March. Toronto got a great performance on defense, but that hasn't been the norm as they are 17th in the NHL in goals allowed this season. The Maple Leafs are 12-29 in their last 41 vs. a team with a winning record, and are 7-19 against a team with a winning road record. Boston, which averaged 3.75 goals over the first four games, fired 36 shots in the final two periods of game five, but could only get one goal. That should change today with the road team being 4-0 the last four games, and the Bruins 2-0 on the road in this series. Bruins netminder Tuukka Rask has had a great series, and the Bruins are 36-16 against the Northeast Division. The Bruins are 23-9 in the last 32 meetings, 6-1 in the last seven meetings in Toronto. Play the Boston Bruins in game six.
