Game four was a shootout as the Bruins tied the series at two games a piece. The final score to this game was 6-4.
The series heads back to Boston as the Bruins will look to defend their home ice once again and put the Maple Leafs on the brink of elimination.
Toronto Maple Leafs
The Maple leafs failed to take advantage of their away win and lost home ice advantage in game four. Now they must win on the road, so they have the chance to close things out in Toronto.
The offense was good in this game, but they just could not keep up with the Bruins. Auston Matthews was the leading scorer in this game as he scored two goals. One of his goals came in the third period on a power play that sparked the Maple Leafs comeback. Unfortunately they fell just short as the Bruins sealed the game with a goal that came in the final seconds. Look for a similar type offensive performance from the Maple Leafs, given the stakes of this game. Matthews will need to score at least twice if the Maple Leafs are going to win in Boston.

The defense for Toronto was atrocious in game four. This was coming off a game three where they allowed just two goals. Expect the Maple Leafs’ defense to play much better defense on the road, an actually give their offense a chance to win.
Boston Bruins
Boston struggled out of the gates in this series, losing game one at home as we know. However, the win in game four gives them a chance to write their wrong and put all the pressure on Toronto assuming they can win on their home ice.
The Bruins had a rare offensive explosion, putting up six goals. They scored two goals in each period, which paced them to a win. David Pastrnak scored two of their goals and Brad Marchhand also added a goal and two assists. The key to this game will be scoring early, especially in front of their home fans.

The Bruins defense was worse than their usual performance. Allowing four goals is still not good regardless of the result. Look for them to use the home crowd to their advantage and tighten up their defending considerably.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Home team is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings.
