Montreal Canadiens vs Toronto Maple Leafs. The NHL pick for this game is the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Maple Leafs won six of their last ten home games despite splitting their previous six contests.

 

They have 13 goals in their last four home matches, demonstrating their strong offensive play. Additionally, they performed well on special teams, converting 25% of their power play chances.

 

The Canadiens let up 10 goals in their previous 3 matches, making them one of the worst teams in the league at stopping penalties.

 

As a result, expect them to struggle in this game to slow down the Maple Leafs. Four of the Canadiens’ previous five games ended in defeat, including all four of their road contests.

 

Only six goals were scored in their last three games due to offensive struggles, and all six came in one game. Also, they had trouble on special teams, converting more than 16% of their power play chances.

 

Anticipate the Maple Leafs to contain Montreal’s scoring because they are excellent at killing penalties and are playing solid defense despite giving up seven goals in their last three home games.

 

The pick to cover the spread is Toronto. The Toronto Maple Leafs will win to a predicted score of 8-3.
