(D2) Boston Bruins vs (D3) Toronto Maple Leafs

The Boston Bruins held a 3-1 series lead over the Toronto Maple Leafs earlier this week, but they have lost the past two games by 2-1 scorelines. The Bruins were nearly shutout in Toronto during game 6 on Thursday, but they scored an inconsequential goal during the final second of the match to deny it.

Heading into game 7 in Boston tonight, the Maple Leafs have secured all the momentum through their back-to-back wins. Additionally, the Bruins are feeling a lot of pressure to win tonight because they already choked a 3-1 series lead during the NHL playoffs last season. So, there is a lot of anticipation to see whether the Maple Leafs can win three straight games and advance to the next round. If the Bruins lose tonight, then they will have been eliminated in the first round of the NHL playoffs for three straight seasons. With that being said, the Bruins still have one more chance to win the series.

The Maple Leafs have won the past two games because they have held the Bruins to one goal in each game. Even though the Maple Leafs have only been able to score twice in each game, their incredible defense has allowed them to tie the series 3-3. In order for the Bruins to avoid elimination, they will have to find a way to score some goals in front of their home crowd.

With so much anticipation surrounding the first game 7 of this year’s NHL playoffs, fans can watch all the action for free by using the free trials offered by DirecTV Stream and Fubo TV. Alternatively, getting a discounted Sling subscription will also allow fans to watch the game live.
