This Bruins team is not as strong on defense as they were last season so the Leafs will be able to get some pucks in the net. Boston has struggled defensively this season giving up 3.23 goals per game. The Leafs have a lot of offensive firepower and are capable of putting in a couple on the Bruins. This is a very heated rivalry between these two original six teams so expect some fireworks in this game as their first game this season already saw a combined 7 goals. Expect power play opportunities for goals as well from both sides. The total has gone Over in 4 of Boston's last 5 games against an opponent in the Atlantic Division.

Best bet: take the Over the Total.
