Going into Bruins vs Maple Leafs Game 6, Boston holds a 3-2 series lead, but Toronto can even the series at home tonight. The current moneyline odds favor the Bruins as -108 underdogs, with the Maple Leafs as the slightest of favorites at -112.

This matchup promises to be an exciting game between two competitive teams vying for victory on the ice.

Boston had a chance to close this series out in Game 5 on their home ice earlier this week. But they fell short at home, opening the door for the Leafs to even this series in Game 6. We expect Toronto to do just that, after showing a ton of heart just to keep this series alive with their Game 5 win on the road. Toronto had won seven of their last eight games going into that Game 5 but they did not roll over in a hostile environment.

Of course, there is some postseason history that Toronto will have to overcome if they are going to win this game and force a Game 7 back in Boston. The Maple Leafs have made the playoffs in each of the last seven years but have only advanced past the first round one time, that coming last season. If they can get a win tonight, they will move to within one game of making it past the first hurdle of their postseason for a second straight season.
