Many thought the Leafs would have a bad season and they seem slow to catch up to the reality - they are playing great hockey right now. Toronto has been on a tear winning seven out of their last eight. Getting them at just -115 here represents nice value. Especially considering that Boston has not been playing well (lost five of last nine and 9 of 15 overall). Even taking into account the location, we have an edge on Toronto. They are 6-3 on the road while Boston is just 4-4 at home. Toronto is scoring in fits and they have found defense of late allowing just 2.2 per game over their last five. Boston can't keep anyone out of the net, allowing nearly 4 goals per game on the season. The Bruins are just 15-40 the past two seasons vs. winning teams. Maple Leafs here.
