Where to watch Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins?

Game 4 of the opening series of the playoffs will take place at Scotiabank Arena on April 28 at 02:00 and you can watch it on Nova Sport 2.

Toronto plays the most important game of the series

Toronto needs a win in tonight’s game to even the series. In case of another home defeat, it would give the opponent a relegation matchball, which would give Boston two home games. The Maple Leafs will once again have to do without Nylander, who is noticeably absent from the team, as the offensive combo of Matthews, Marner, Tavares was only able to assert itself in the second game of the series. The playoffs clearly show that what was true in the regular season is not true in the playoffs. Matthews is no longer as successful as Kucherov in Tampa Bay, for example.

Will Boston change its mind about goaltending?

Boston’s goaltending has been criticized quite a bit for still rotating goalies in such an important phase as the playoffs. Certainly the Swayman – Ullmark duo is one of the best the NHL has to offer, but the regular rotation of goalies is not good for the team. If Swayman came in, the Bruins were happy to win. And it certainly would’ve been better for the team if the coach had designated a clear number one. The breaks between games don’t bode well for the number one goalie. Boston can take a big step in this game to advance to the next round. David Pastrnak has scored in every game so far, but the two best players on the team are clearly Swayman and captain Marchand.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins odds

Betting tip – David Pastrnak to score a goal

Czech forward David Pastrnak has scored in all three games of this tight series so far. In the opening game he had an assist, in the second game he scored the goal that put his team in the lead, but Boston fell for the first time in the series, and in the last game he scored again on Brad Marchand’s goal. So he could score again in tonight’s game and steer his team towards the relegation match. The bookmakers have odds of 2.10 for Pastrnak to score.
