Already this postseason, they're 3-0 after a loss. They responded with a win after losing each of the three games they lost against the Maple Leafs in the opening round. Luckily for them, this trend wasn't tested in the second round. They swept the Panthers 4-0.
WynnBET Sportsbook expects them to have a good chance to extend this trend to 20-0. They have them set as -125 favorites in Game 2, which is set to take place on Friday night at Madison Square Garden.
