Boston has lost two in a row after starting the year 5-1, losing to Tampa Bay and Toronto by identical 3-4 scores. This is a get-right game at home against the Leafs who have dropped five of their last eight games. Toronto can score, but their defense is lackluster, allowing 3.5 goals per game and 4.2 per game in-division. Boston's defense has been stellar at 2.2 goals per game allowed, even after the last two poor defensive games. They have already recorded two shut-outs on the young season. Dating back to last season, the Bruins are 12-1 off a close one-goal road loss. Under Mike Babcock, the Maple Leafs are just 63-72 vs. division opponents. Back Boston to right the ship here.
