Saturday's NHL Best Bets

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Toronto Maple Leafs (+120) at Boston Bruins (-142) | O/U 5.5 (+105/-125)

Could history repeat itself for the Bruins? Last year, Boston held a 3-1 series against the Panthers and lost the next three games, including Game 7 at home. The defense and goaltending continue to be immaculate and have allowed more than two goals only once in this series. The problem is the offense has scored just one goal in the last two games.

David Pastrnak is their star forward but hasn't been getting the shot volume or quality shots he's used to, and his shot percentage is only 10.5% in this series compared to 15.2% in the regular season.

The key change the Maple Leafs made was putting Joseph Woll in the cage, as he's been a wall with a .964 save percentage. It's also been the blue line that has stepped in these last two games and allowed 51 total shots on goal.

The question is, will the offense come through? This has been an offensive-centric team throughout the regular season as they were second with 3.63 goals per game, and the defense was average, so how much longer can they ride this wave? Much of that has had to do with players missing games like William Nylander and Auston Matthews. Matthews hasn't played the last two, and he's in jeopardy of not playing Game 7. Knowing he was in the lineup would give the Leafs a better chance to win.

Boston has been able to contain this Maple Leafs offense, even in the regular season. They just need to figure out a way to score.

Under 5.5 Total Goals (-125)
