Boston took an unexpected 5-1 victory during game one of the series, a loss Toronto would not have expected, so we expect them to bounce back in this matchup despite it being on the road.
The league’s top goalscorer Auston Matthews failed to score in the first game of the series, tonight we are backing him to get back on the scoreboard.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Boston Bruins

Betting Trends
- Auston Matthews scored the most goals during the regular season with a total of 69.
- Matthews has scored just once in his previous four games against the Boston Bruins.
Matthews to Bounce Back
Facing an early exit in round one of the playoffs was not on Toronto’s radar this season, as they have their best chance yet to make a decent run in the playoffs.
With Auston Matthews banging in 69 goals during the regular season, they will be looking towards him to get his team up and running in this game, especially without William Nylander in the lineup. Despite laying juice here, we are betting on Matthews to bounce back against an old foe in this second game of the first round.
The Pick
Toronto has suffered five losses in a row and Matthews has failed to score in his previous three games. We believe Matthews will look to get as many shots off as possible tonight and we believe he should be in with a strong chance of getting on the scoreboard at -120 NHL betting odds.
