The Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs meet in NHL action from Scotiabank Arena on Saturday night.

The Boston Bruins will look to build on their 7-game win streak after a 5-2 win over the New York Rangers in their last game. David Pastrnak has 19 points with team-highs of 8 goals and 11 assists while Hampus Lindholm has 13 points with 4 goals and 9 assists. Patrice Bergeron’s also got 10 points with 4 goals and 6 assists while Taylor Hall has 5 goals as well this season. Linus Ullmark’s gone 8-0 with a 2.17 GAA and a .929 save percentage while Jeremy Swayman’s gone 2-1 with a 3.76 GAA and an .872 save percentage this season.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will try to build on their 5-2 win over Philadelphia last time out. John Tavares has a team-high 14 points split between 7 goals and 7 assists while Mitch Marner has 11 points with a team-high 9 assists and William Nylander also has 11 points with 4 goals and 7 assists this season. Auston Matthews has 10 points with 4 goals and 6 assists while Rielly has a team-high 9 assists. Ilya Samsonov’s 5-2 with a 2.30 GAA and a .920 save percentage in goal for Toronto so far this season.

Boston is 6-0 in their last 6 games following a win and 4-0 in their last 4 games against the Eastern Conference while the over is 3-0-1 in their last 4 division games. Toronto is 2-6 in their last 8 games following a win and 37-14 in their last 51 home games while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 home games.

I get the case to be made for either side here as Boston’s white hot while Toronto could use a big win for a confidence builder after getting back on track against Philadelphia. That being said, I like the under here as I think this is going to be a game that’s all about physical play and which goaltender steps up more here. I think this is a first to 3 wins kind of game, so give me the under here.
