Boston at Toronto

Toronto likes a fast pace, but Boston is an elite defensive squad at second in the league in goals allowed. The offense is just #22 in goals scored and is dealing with some key injuries this week. The Bruins have allowed eight total goals the last five contests. Boston is 20-7-1 UNDER the total on the road, including 16-4-1 UNDER away against a team with a winning home record. Toronto star Auston Matthews is still out, dealing with a shoulder injury, but Toronto is playing strong defense off a shutout win over Philadelphia on Saturday, and on a 12-4-3 run UNDER the total. With Boston 47-23-9 UNDER against winning teams, look for more defense than offense in this key division showdown. Play the UNDER.
