Analysis

Toronto Maple Leafs Total Over 2.5 (-128)…(5%)…( Play good to -141)

Despite the loss, the Toronto Maple Leafs showed great potential in Game 1. The underlying numbers reveal that they played much better than the final score indicated, with a high goal expectancy of 7.21, compared to the Bruins' 3.71. With this in mind, it's clear that the Leafs have a strong chance of bouncing back in Game 2.

The return of William Nylander and the team's high-scoring average of 3.63 goals per game makes it highly likely that the Leafs will improve their offensive performance and reach at least three goals. They have the talent and skill to dominate, with Auston Matthews leading the charge with 69 goals in the regular season.

Game 2 is all about adjustments, and the Leafs have the ability to make the necessary changes to come out on top. Their  great chemistry and speed work to their advantage and give them the edge over the Bruins.

Last year's playoffs showed that the Maple Leafs have the resilience and determination to succeed, even after a blowout in Game 1. Toronto lost to Tampa Bay in Game 1, but eventually won the series. With their strong possession game from the first game carrying over into Game 2, they will likely dominate and come out on top.

In conclusion, the Toronto Maple Leafs have the potential, talent, and drive to win Game 2 and make a strong comeback in the playoffs. With their high-scoring average, the return of Nylander, and their ability to make adjustments, it's clear that the Leafs will come out on top and reach at least the three-goal mark. With the Maple Leafs only scoring one goal, despite a lofty 7.21 expected goals according to MoneyPuck.com, and William Nylander potentially slotting back into the lineup, I'm confident the Maple Leafs will bounce back offensively and get at least three goals.
