Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction: Can Bruins Get Pucks Past Ilya Samsonov in Game 3?
Time for some early puck. The Boston Bruins are heading up north to Ontario for a clash with the Toronto Maple Leafs for Game 3 of this first round series. They split the first two games at TD Garden and the winner of this one will regain momentum, as well the series lead.

BOSTON BRUINS VS. TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS PREDICTION
We cashed the total in the first game of this series and were so close to grabbing game two as well. at 5.5, I will live and die by the hook and if it lands at another 3-2 game, I am ready to get hurt again. With that said, I don't see it happening. Massive win Game 2 for the Leafs who now have the momentum here in this series and knowing how they are about their hockey in Toronto, I expect some serious energy tonight especially with Ilya Samsonov in net.
Have you seen the ticket prices for games at Scotiabank Arena? Outrageous. Anyone in that building is going to be buzzing like crazy and they will bring the energy which should transfer onto the ice. Toronto still only has four goals in the series and you are talking about a team that averages nearly four goals a game. Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman are both money between the pipes but the Leafs are very potent offensively and still haven't woken up in this series yet.
On the flip side, Boston knows they opened the door for the Leafs dropping Game 2 and know they are now in the enemy's backyard. They are going to have to bring it tonight and I expect they do. The longer these playoff games stay quiet the less likely it is to open up but if we can get two in the first, I find it very likely this one finds a way over.
