Florida Panthers vs Toronto Maple Leafs Betting Preview
Maple Leafs Six Points Behind the Panthers
Toronto has had an up-and-down season, but here they are with 10 games left firmly in a playoff position and just six points behind the Panthers for second in the Atlantic with one game in hand. Toronto is 6-3-1 in its last 10 NHL games and has won consecutive games against the Buffalo Sabres and Washington Capitals. Samsonov stopped all 34 shots faced in a 3-0 win over Buffalo on Saturday.
Toronto is third among NHL picks in goals (3.62) and seventh in shots (32.8). They’re 17th in goals allowed (3.08) and 17th in shots allowed (30.0). They’re 20-13-3 on home ice this season and just 9-9-2 against Atlantic Division opponents. Auston Matthews and William Nylander share the NHL player stats lead with 95 points. Matthews scored his league-leading 60th goal of the season on Saturday.
Toronto players Mitch Marner, Morgan Rielly, Joel Edmundson, Calle Jarnkrok, and Timothy Liljegren are on the NHL injury report.
Florida Struggling down the Stretch
The Panthers have been among the best NHL teams all season, but have struggled coming into the Panthers vs Maple Leafs odds. They’re coming off a 3-2 shootout win over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, but had just one win in their previous seven NHL matchups, including losses to the New York Islanders, Nashville Predators, and New York Rangers.
Florida is T13th in goals (3.19), second in shots (33.4) third in shots allowed (27.7), and first in goals (2.43). They also have a top-10 power play and penalty kill. They have just 15 goals in their last eight games.
Reinhart leads Panthers in scoring with 86 points (51 goals, 35 assists) and Tkachuk is second with 79 (56 assists). Jonah Gadjovich is the only absence for Florida; he’s day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.
Florida Panthers vs Toronto Maple Leafs Betting Picks
Toronto hasn’t been great on home ice this season and they’re missing a couple of key players, but the Panthers are also in a slump in the scores and odds, and, at +110 odds there’s great value in betting on the Maple Leafs. Samsonov is 3-2-1 with a 2.76 GAA and .915 save percentage in seven career games against the Panthers and should give Toronto a chance to win, especially coming off a confidence-building shutout over the Sabres.
- Pick 1: Toronto +110
- Pick 2: Under 6.5 (-120)
