Devils at Maple Leafs odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Maple Leafs 5, Devils 3
Money line
The Maple Leafs (-320) will cost you more than three times your initial wager, and that's terribly risky for a team that has just two wins in the past five outings, and four victories across the previous nine outings.
The Leafs are also using a rookie goaltender in just his fourth start and fifth NHL appearance.
AVOID.
Against the spread
All of that said, the MAPLE LEAFS -1.5 (-130) are the better play on home ice laying the goal and a half.
Seven of Toronto's last nine victories since Feb. 14 have been by 2 or more goals. In addition, the Devils just played Tuesday, and they're a dismal 5-17 across the past 22 games when working on no rest.
Over/Under
The OVER 6.5 (-135) is the way to go here.
The Over has cashed in four straight outings for the Devils while going 20-6-1 across their last 27 games on the road. This is a team that took care of the Over on their own Tuesday night vs. NYR. The Over is also 12-3-1 in their last 16 when working on no rest.
The trends also point to the Over for the Leafs, going 19-6-1 in the past 26 as a favorite, while going 9-3-1 in the previous 13 against Eastern Conference foes.
