This series is tied at a game apiece going into Wednesday night, with the Maple Leafs stealing home ice advantage by splitting Games 1 and 2 in Boston. Now, Boston will aim to steal home ice advantage back from the Leafs, while Toronto aims to take a 2-1 series lead with another game coming in front of their home crowd. We think the latter will be the outcome after this game, as Toronto should be able to come away with a victory over a Boston team that was not nearly as good on the road as they were at home.

Going into Bruins vs Maple Leafs Game 3, Boston is five games above .500 on the road for the year. That is not all that impressive, especially for a team that has title aspirations. Expect the Leafs to take advantage of the Bruins' relative mediocrity on the road for the Maple Leafs to have a 2-1 series lead when the final horn sounds in Game 3.
