Save $25 on Sling TV: The most cost-effective way to stream the Maple Leafs vs. Bruins game

If you don’t have cable and you want to watch the today’s game, one of the most cost-effective ways to stream playoff games is through a subscription to Sling TV. To watch hockey in the postseason, you’ll need a subscription to the Orange + Blue tier.
