BOS Bruins Win-130TOR Maple Leafs @ BOS Bruins

Reasoning

The Toronto Maple Leafs finally got out of the first round of the playoffs for the first time since 2004. They will have to defeat nemesis and a fellow Original Six team 4 times if they hope to make it to the second round or deeper in consecutive seasons for the first time since a 4-year span from 1999-2002. The Leafs were swept in 4 games by the Bruins during the regular season, with Boston outscoring Toronto 15-7. In the most recent showdown at TD Garden the Bruins picked up a 4-1 win; they also prevailed 3-2 in a shootout in the first meeting back on Nov. 2.

The Leafs have had a terrible time in the postseason, winning just one series (last season) since 2004. They haven’t hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup since 1967. A big reason for the lack of postseason success lately is the Boston Bruins. These teams have met in the playoffs 16 times, last in 2019. Toronto and Boston have faced each other four times in the past 11 years, and the Bruins have won every series, including Toronto’s complete Game 7 collapse in 2013 — when the Leafs led in Boston 4-1 going into the third period. With all of the ugly history in this series for the Maple Leafs and the fact that the Bruins have won 7 straight meetings, it’s hard to believe you can get the B’s at such a cheap price. Let’s back the home team with confidence.

Bruins ML at -130 available at time of publishing. Playable to -150.

Where To Wager On Your NHL Best Bets

NHL games, as with all major US sports will have a multitude of markets available for every game offered by all leading online sportsbooks.

Alongside the importance of being selective in your wagering, and managing your bankroll, right up there with the most important factors in successful NHL bets are the odds and betting lines.

NHL is a major US sport and as such sees a great deal of betting turnover with online sportsbooks. As a result, sportsbooks are keen to out-compete one another, and the way they do this is by trying to offer the best odds, spreads, or betting offers.

NHL picks and odds are most similarly compared to MLB picks and odds in that the puck line is set at +/- 1.5, as the run line is in baseball, and it’s the odds that change rather than the lines.

With this, it’s vital to shop the odds for your NHL best bets, as you can see a huge difference in potential payout from placing a wager at one sportsbook as opposed to another.

All of our NHL picks are accompanied by the best available odds and which online sportsbooks are offering them, but these odds are dynamic and can change.

If you don’t yet have an account with one of the sportsbooks listed as having the best odds, why not check out our bonuses page to see the latest promo codes available and get off to a flyer with a great sign-up bonus?
