Bruins vs Maple Leafs Prediction

The Maple Leafs are playing the better hockey right now and have won the last two games against the Bruins. The Maple Leafs have outscored the Bruins 10-4 in the last two games. The Bruins have lost three straight games and aren’t finding the extra spark of offense to finish games. With that said, we’re getting the Bruins and plus money at home, where they’re 18-9-4 on the season. The Bruins have seen 18 of their 27 wins come at home. I also don’t expect this sluggish stretch to continue much longer. The Bruins and the plus money is where the value is at on Tuesday.
