Toronto vs Boston Prediction 28 April 2024

The fourth game of the Stanley Cup ⅛ final series between Toronto and Boston will take place on April 28. Three days earlier, the "Leafs" lost their first home game at the Scotiabank Arena, so they are in desperate need of a win. They definitely do not want to return to Boston with a 1-3 score.

Toronto lost the first match without much chance, after which they pulled themselves together and evened the series score. However, returning to their home ice did not give Sheldon Keefe's guys the necessary boost, and they lost again. The "Leafs" looked good, but failed to capitalize on most of their chances. They had the man advantage five times and did not use it even once.

But Boston looked excellent on the power play, scoring two goals in three attempts. When the opponent tied the score in the middle of the third period, the "Bears" didn't even let them enjoy it. Brad Marchand put Jim Montgomery's team ahead just 28 seconds later, and he also put the final touch in the match by sending the puck into the empty net.

Projected lineups:

Toronto: Samsonov – Lyubushkin, Brodie – Marner, Matthews, Bertuzzi

Boston: Ullmark – Grzelcyk, McAvoy – Pastrnak, Zaha, Heinen

The hosts will be without Klingberg, who is missing the entire season. The guests will not be able to count on Brazo, Poitras, Lucic, and Forbort.

Recently, Boston has been dominating Toronto, and importantly, this includes away games. The "Bears" have won the last four matches at the "Leafs'" arena, so we confidently bet that they will not lose in the upcoming meeting.
