Pick
I’m backing the under here. Both teams are banged up and missing some key guys and more importantly, this game features two of the better starting goalies in the league in Boston’s Linus Ullmark and Toronto’s Ilya Samsonov. I think this game has 3-2 written all over it so give me the under here.
