Analysis

3* Rotation #13 NHL Saturday 3* Toronto Maple Leafs Money Line +115 @ Boston Bruins @ 8 ET - I waited to see if Auston Matthews was at practice and he was. That does not mean he will play for sure but I would say there is a decent chance and it also was a big boost for team morale to see him at practice this morning. The Leafs certainly are surging with morale and momentum already as they have rallied from down 3 to 1 in this series to tie it up at 3 games apiece. The Bruins just don't seem right as they were expected to respond in Game 6 after the Game 5 loss but they again had a slow start and never recovered in the 2-1 loss that easily could have ended 2-0. Toronto's confidence has grown with each win and they finally got a home post-season win in Game 6. Also, they won each of the last two games at Boston. This is huge for the Leafs confidence as they ended their long post-season home ice hex in Game 6 plus they have wont the last two games played at TD Garden in Boston. All the pressure is now on the Bruins in home ice in Game 7 and the Maple Leafs, likely bolstered by Matthews return also, are likely to take full advantage. I am grabbing the plus money here and note that the Bruins, dating back to the regular season, have lost 5 of last 7 games on home ice and the lone regular season win in that stretch came in overtime also. Given all of the above, the line value is clearly with the dog here and I look for yet another playoff disappointment for the Bruins jsut like we saw last season. 3* TORONTO
