We like the Boston Bruins to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday at 7:07pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Boston knocked out the Leafs in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference First Round last season. While this may be a revenge spot for Toronto, they aren't playing their best hockey right now.

The Leafs have lost back to back games against teams that they should be winning against in Columbus and St. Louis. Both losses were by four goals.

Boston have lost three straight, but showed signs of waking up against Dallas in their last game.

Even though the Leafs won three games in their playoff series vs Boston, they are just 3-11 in their last 14 games against the B's.

Toronto are also just 4-8 in their last 12 games vs division opponents (Atlantic.)

We're backing the home side in this playoff rematch.
