Boston is 17-2-2 in its last 21 road games and has been idle since Tuesday. So I'm anticipating a huge effort from the Bruins.

Toronto, on the other hand, is playing for the fifth time in eight days. The Maple Leafs also will be without their leading scorer, center Auston Matthews. Toronto is one game above .500 when playing without Matthews, who suffered a shoulder injury in Toronto's last game two days ago.
