When it comes to betting statistics, the St. Louis Blues have consistently beaten the spread in each of the four games, while the Maple Leafs have not managed to cover the spread at all.

St. Louis Blues vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Predictions

The Blues are coming into this game on a high, riding a two-game winning streak and having won seven of their last eight games. Their recent success has been a team effort, but center Robert Thomas has been particularly impressive, leading the team with 18 goals and 39 assists. St. Louis will be looking to continue their strong play on the road, where they’ve compiled a respectable 13-12-1 record. The Blues’ offense has been clicking, but they’ll be tested against a Maple Leafs team that is known for its scoring prowess.

Toronto, on the other hand, is looking to bounce back from a loss in their last outing. The Maple Leafs boast a powerful offensive lineup, with star players like Auston Matthews and William Nylander leading the charge. Matthews’ 42 goals are a testament to his scoring ability, and Nylander’s 65 points highlight his playmaking skills. However, Toronto has struggled to cover the spread this season, and their defense will need to step up against a Blues team that has been finding the back of the net with regularity. The Maple Leafs will also be looking to leverage their home-ice advantage, where they have a 12-10-2 record at Scotiabank Arena.

This game is not just about the star forwards, though. Both teams have defensive units that can impact the game significantly. The Blues have shown they can shut down opponents, while the Maple Leafs will be keen to tighten up their defense to support their goaltending. With both teams averaging over three goals per game, the offensive firepower on display could turn this game into a high-scoring affair. As the teams battle for crucial points in the standings, keep an eye on the key matchups, especially how each team’s top lines perform against the other’s defensive pairings.

St. Louis Blues vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Pick

The Toronto Maple Leafs are the pick for this matchup, despite the St. Louis Blues’ impressive recent form. The Maple Leafs’ offensive firepower, led by Auston Matthews and William Nylander, is a significant factor in this decision. With Matthews’ goal-scoring prowess and Nylander’s playmaking ability, Toronto has the edge in offensive depth. Additionally, the Maple Leafs will be eager to rebound from their recent loss and capitalize on their home-ice advantage at Scotiabank Arena, where they have a winning record. The Blues have been strong on the road, but Toronto’s urgency to maintain their playoff positioning and their superior offensive statistics make them the favorites in this contest.

Historically, the head-to-head matchups have favored the visiting team, but the Maple Leafs’ need to bounce back from their last game and their tendency to perform well as the favorite this season suggest a different outcome. The Blues have beaten the spread consistently in their recent meetings, but Toronto’s situation is different this time around, with a stronger emphasis on tightening their defense and supporting their goaltending. Given the odds and the Maple Leafs’ potential to exploit the Blues’ defense, a moneyline bet on Toronto is the more compelling choice for this game.

The Pick: Toronto Maple Leafs -210. (PointsBet)
