Leafs vs Bruins Prediction
Despite trailing 3-1 in the series, the Maple Leafs have fought back to force Game 7 by winning the last two games without star center Auston Matthews. Toronto s offense has been led by William Nylander, who scored both goals in Game 6, and Max Domi, who leads the team with four points in the series.
The Leafs defense and goaltending have also stepped up, allowing just 51 shots on goal combined in the last two games. Joseph Woll has started the past two games over Ilya Samsonov, posting an outstanding .961 save percentage in those games.

The Bruins, on the other hand, have struggled to generate offense, scoring only one goal in each of the last two games. Their star forward, David Pastrnak, has been limited in shot volume and quality, with his shooting percentage dropping from 15.2% in the regular season to 10.5% in this series.
Boston will need their top players, including Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, and Charlie McAvoy, to rise to the occasion in Game 7. Your best players need to come through with some big-time plays and big-time moments Pasta needs to step up
Considering the Maple Leafs momentum, strong goaltending from Joseph Woll, and the Bruins offensive struggles, the prediction is for the game to finish with under 5.5 total goals. We lean Toronto on the moneyline to break their Game 7 curse, but our most confident pick is the under.
Game 7 Pick:
Under 5.5 Goals (-130)
