Vegas Golden Knights vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Predictions

The Golden Knights, despite a recent 3-game losing streak, are looking to regain their earlier season form that saw them at the top of the Pacific Division. Jonathan Marchessault leads the team with 30 goals, and the Knights will need his offensive prowess along with contributions from their defense, led by Alex Pietrangelo, to overcome a Maple Leafs team that has been on fire with a 7-game winning streak. Vegas will need to tighten up their defense, which has struggled recently, allowing an average of over 3 goals per game during their skid.

Toronto, on the other hand, has been clicking on all cylinders, with Auston Matthews leading the charge with an impressive 52 goals this season. Alongside him, Mitchell Marner and William Nylander have been key contributors, helping the Leafs to the third rank in their division. The Leafs’ offense has been particularly potent, and their power play is nearly unstoppable, scoring at a staggering pace over the past 10 games. However, they will need to be wary of their penalty kill, which has been less effective.

This game will feature a key matchup between the Golden Knights’ goaltending, likely Adin Hill, who has struggled recently, against the Leafs’ top scorers. On the other side, the Leafs’ goaltending duo of Ilya Samsonov and Martin Jones will need to be sharp to fend off Vegas’ attack. With both teams boasting strong offensive talents, this matchup could come down to which team is able to capitalize on their opportunities and which goaltender can make the crucial saves to secure the win.

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Pick

The Toronto Maple Leafs are on a seven-game winning streak, showcasing their offensive strength and depth. With Auston Matthews leading the league in goals and the team’s power play operating at an almost unprecedented level, the Leafs have the momentum and the firepower to continue their winning ways. The Maple Leafs’ recent performance, particularly their ability to cover the spread and exceed the Over-Under line, indicates a team that is not only winning but doing so convincingly. Despite the Vegas Golden Knights’ potential for a bounce-back game, Toronto’s current form is too strong to bet against, especially on home ice where they have been formidable.

While the Golden Knights have the talent to make this a competitive game, their recent struggles, particularly in goal with Adin Hill’s recent performances, suggest they may have difficulty containing the Leafs’ top scorers. Additionally, the historic head-to-head data shows that the Maple Leafs have the capability to put up big numbers against Vegas, as evidenced by their last meeting. Given the current odds and the Leafs’ recent trends, including their strong performances as favorites, a moneyline bet on Toronto is the more compelling choice for this matchup.

The Pick: Toronto Maple Leafs -170. (PointsBet)
