It's been a back and forth series so far with the Bruins leading two games to one. Having said that, this is a massive game for Toronto. Nobody wants to go down 3-1. Especially when you're not going back home for Game 5. Toronto's been playing this series without one of their best players so far. William Nylander, who people believe to have been dealing with a severe migraine, was a full participant in yesterday's practice. Now, I'm not going to sit here and call him in for this game without it being announced, but signs are pointing in the right direction. 

We all know what Austin Matthews can do on the attacking end. Including the playoffs, he's scored 70 goals this season. Expect him to get on the scoresheet again today. Last year, the Bruins struggled when leading in their playoff series against Florida. I could see this one going to Game 7 as well. Nonetheless, even if Nylander can't go, I'll take the Maple Leafs to make this series interesting as they are 40-20 in their last 60 games when losing by two or more in their last game. Play on Toronto. 

Score Prediction: 4-2 Leafs
