Safe to say, the Bruins and the Maple Leafs know each other well, what with 7 play-off games with each other both the previous two seasons, along with the usual regular season encounters – this marks the third time the two sides meet in this very young season.
Both teams have suffered their injury woes this year already; the Maple Leafs will take on the Bruins without Mitch Marner, though are lucky enough to have welcomed back Travis Dermott and Zach Hyman, both of whom started the year on injured reserve.
The Bruins, meanwhile, are down Jake Debrusk, Torey Krug, Karson Kuhlman, David Backes, John Moore and Brett Ritchie.
