NHL Playoffs Game 4: Boston Bruins vs Toronto Maple Leafs Picks & Odds | April 27, 2024

Here we are at Game 4 already and what a series this has been so far! The Bruins stole Game 3 in Toronto by a score of 4-2 on Wednesday night. A huge blow to Toronto after they were able to do the same and win a game in Boston.

Game 3 started off slow and was a battle between both sides. The scoring broke in the 2nd period where both teams found the back on the net once. In the 3rd period, Boston blew the game open netting 3 goals.

The Leafs had a 1 goal lead in the 2nd period when a controversial call happened…or didn't happen. Bruins Captain Brad Marchand tripped Leafs forward Tyler Bertuzzi away from the puck.

This gained some attention on the ice and allowed the Bruins's Trent Frederic to sneak into the offensive zone and tie the game. The whole momentum of the game changed after this, and the Bruins started cruising.

Goaltending has been another X factor for the Bruins. Goalie Jeremy Swayman has won his last 6 games vs the Leafs, going back to April of last year.

He has a 2.02 GAA and a .933 save percentage over the 6 games. Although the Bruins alternated goalies for the first 2 games, Swayman is expected in net tonight.

Can the Leafs find a way to get a win against Swayman?

Going deep into the playoffs has always been a problem for the Leafs. Being down a game really hurts them, so they need to use home ice to their advantage. The fans need to make that place explode.

Toronto needs to find ways to score more than 2 goals as well. Swayman really has their number, but this team is lethal on offense and the power play. They ranked 2nd in the league for goals scored per game.

This has been a physical series so far and that takes a toll on all. Really stepping up though shows a deep team and we'll see if Toronto has that in them.

Winning today is a must because if they go back to Boston down 3-1, this series is pretty much over. Goalie Ilya Samsonov has played decent this series considering. They will need a big game from him tonight.

Let's check out the odds and get into the picks.

Boston is just too much when it comes to the playoffs and honestly, how can you bet against Swayman right now? He is really the X factor of this series and Toronto needs to find a way to pour it on against him.

I don't think they have figured that out yet. Boston is also a really good road team, so not having home ice doesn't bother them much.

This is a critical game for both teams as it will be huge for Boston to go back home up 3-1 in the series and detrimental to the Leafs hopes.

We're going to see another hard fought, physical game tonight. I really think Boston sneaks in another win here in Toronto and take a commanding lead. Going back to home ice could almost seal the deal for the series.

Nugget: Iyla Samsonov Over 24.5 saves at -125. He's gone over this number in the last 2 games of this series and expect Boston to pour it on again. We'll pay the juice man here.
