Ottawa Senators vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Analysis
Ottawa Senators Performance Recap and Analysis
The Ottawa Senators’ lines in recent games haven’t been good as they are a team that is heading in the wrong direction. Ottawa has gone just 1-4 in their last five games, and they have registered just eight points through their first 10 games.
Brady Tkachuk does have some decent NHL player stats for this team as he has eight goals and 11 points to lead the way.
Key Injuries
The NHL injury report for the Senators is relatively long, and that is going to make their task much harder on Wednesday night. A pair of centers are currently listed as out, and it will be hard for this team to generate much on the offensive end of the ice.
Betting Trends to Know
Two of the last four losses by the Senators have come by two points or more, and that’s something to keep in mind when looking at the puck line in this game.
Toronto Maple Leafs Performance Recap and Analysis
The Toronto Maple Leafs were expected to be near the top of the NHL standings this season, but they just haven’t played good hockey of late. Toronto has 14 points to begin the year, but that’s only good enough for fourth place in the Atlantic Division.
Key Injuries
Toronto is in pretty good shape when it comes to injuries as they will have all of their best players on the ice for this game.
Betting Trends to Know
Three of the last five games on the NHL schedule for the Maple Leafs have gone to overtime, with Toronto finding a way to win the last matchup.
Ottawa Senators vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Betting Picks
If you are going to make NHL expert picks on Wednesday night then here are the three options that you should focus on.
- Moneyline (Maple Leafs -170)
This is a game on the Toronto Maple Leafs schedule that they must win, and they are going to do exactly that.
- Over/Under (Under 7.0)
With an over/under line set at 7.0 total goals on Wednesday night, going with the under is simply the best option.
- Spread (Senators +1.5)
Even though the Maple Leafs are clearly the better team in this game, the fact that it’s a rivalry game will keep this to a one-goal game.
Ottawa Senators vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction
This should be one of the best NHL games of the night, and that’s something to remember when making Senators vs Maple Leafs betting picks. Ottawa is going to play well in this game, but they just won’t have what it takes to pick up the victory.
The best bet to make on the NHL is to take the Toronto Maple Leafs on the moneyline at -170 as the home team is going to win this game.
