Toronto Maple Leafs

Boston Bruins

Match Preview

Toronto, on the brink of elimination, prevented Boston from closing out the series. With the score at 2-3, the "Leafs" are returning home to even the chances of advancing to the second round. The sixth game of the series will take place on May 3 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

Toronto played a great previous game, despite the absence of Auston Matthews. Even without their attack leader, the "Maple Leafs" were not inferior to their formidable opponent and rightfully took the victory in overtime. Joseph Wall, who replaced Samsonov in goal, showed a splendid performance with 27 saves.

Boston was supposed to close the series on home ice, but Jim Montgomery's charges failed to do so. There's a feeling that they fell short physically. Although, by and large, in the fifth game, the "Bears" were not worse than their opponent. The game can justly be called equal, just this time luck smiled on the Canadian team.

Projected lineups:

Toronto: Wall – Lyubushkin, Brodie – Marner, Domi, Bertuzzi

Boston: Swayman – LoRey, McAvoy – DeBrusk, Zaha, Heinen

The hosts will traditionally be without Klingberg. Also, the participation of Mcmann and Matthews is questionable. The loss of the latter could be fatal. The visitors will be without Poitras, whose absence will not play a key role.

In the five games of the series, the teams have not once exceeded the mark of 7 goals. Moreover, a total of fewer than 6.5 goals has been played in 13 of Boston's last 14 matches. Therefore, we consider this option to be the best for placing a bet.
