Normally I don't care to back the Maple Leafs in the Stanley Cup playoffs given their sad postseason history.

But this is a good spot for Toronto. The Maple Leafs' confidence is up after they evening the series at 1-1 with a 3-2 victory against the Bruins this past Monday. That victory also snapped an eight-game losing streak to Boston.

Now the Maple Leafs are at home. They could get William Nylander back. That would be huge. Nylander, second on the team in goals and points, has missed the first two games because of injury.

The Bruins are down a defenseman in their rotation with Andrew Peeke suffering an injury.
