The series marks the third time in recent years that the Bruins and Maple Leafs will meet in the playoffs, with Boston having the upper hand historically.
Boston Bruins' strong goaltending, with Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman in the top 10 for goals saved above expected, is a key advantage over Toronto.
Ilya Samsonov and Joseph Woll of the Leafs have lower save percentages and goals-against averages compared to the Bruins' netminders, potentially a weakness for Toronto.
Boston has saved 36 goals above expected at five-on-five, ranking second in the league, showcasing their defensive strength and potential advantage in the upcoming playoffs.
