Toronto likes to attack on offense, but Boston is all about focusing on defense and slowing the pace down. This is a tough spot for Toronto, playing its fifth straight road game. And the trip isn't going well, losing five of the last six. They come off a 3-2 loss at Tampa, looking worn out in a game that went UNDER the total. In fact, Toronto is on a 4-2 run UNDER the total and the Maple Leafs are 17-36 in their last 53 road games. Boston is getting healthier and is off a big win over Detroit 5-2, beginning a three-game stay in Boston with a third straight home win. They've won three of four overall going three for nine on the power play. Boston goalie Tuukka Rask is getting it together and in his career against Toronto he is 10-3-0 with a 1.85 GA. The Bruins are 43-17 in their last 60 home games and the Maple Leafs are 5-14 in Boston. Play the Boston Bruins and the UNDER.
