Bruins @ Maple Leafs Game 4: Preview; Betting Odds And Picks

The Boston Bruins can take a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Toronto Maple Leafs with a win in Game 4 on Saturday night in Toronto.

The Bruins know that for that to happen, they will need a repeat performance in the corners and along the boards down low.

“It’s big. That’s what it comes down to,” captain Brad Marchand said after practice on Friday. “It’s an area they were better than us in Game 2 and something that we needed to improve, which we did, but we need to continue to be better. They’re going to push, and that’s an area that you fight for in playoffs is the wall battles. And it can make a big difference like it did last game.”
