Where to watch Boston Bruins vs Toronto Maple Leafs?

Game 2 of the opening series of the playoffs will take place at TD Garden Arena on April 23 at 01:00 and you can watch it on Nova Sport 1.

Will Boston repeat its dominance from the opening game?

In the opening game, which Boston dominated by a clear 5:1 margin, practically everything went right. The key to success was the almost flawless performance of Jeremy Swayman and Jake DeBrusk’s power play. In addition, captain Brad Marchand was also successful as a passer. The latter is already the second most productive player in club history in elimination battles. Of course, last but not least, the Bruins were greatly helped by the indiscipline of the Maple Leafs players. Home fans are also waiting for David Pastrnak to wake up.

Toronto needs to play differently

The Maple Leafs have extended their losing streak to 5 games in a row. After the opening game, the coach clearly indicated what needs to change in his team’s game in order for his team to ”not hang on” in the opening series. It can be assumed that Toronto will learn from the previous game and we will see a completely different game at TD Garden. Moreover, it will be interesting to see if Auston Matthews, the league’s best canon, will wake up.

Betting tip – David Pastrnak scores and Boston wins

David Pastrnak has been waiting a long time to score a goal and he could break that streak on home ice. In the opening game, he credited a pass to a teammate who then scored into an empty net. It’s an interesting possibility that the Czech goalie will be one of Boston’s successful scorers and the Bruins will take a 2-0 lead in the series. In the playoffs, Pastrnak has always been one of the top scorers for his team in recent seasons.
