Maple Leafs at Golden Knights Stats
Looking at the Toronto Maple Leafs stats
The Maple Leafs have been a solid offensive team this season as they are scoring 3.39 goals on 34.1 shots per game so far. They are being led by center Auston Matthews, who is tied for third in the NHL in goals and tied for 12th in the league in points as he has 36 points (22 goals, 14 assists).
Toronto has an incredible goalie in Jack Campbell as he is 17-5-3 this season while giving up 1.99 goals and tied for the league-lead with a .936 save percentage. The defense has allowed 83 total goals, which is third in the NHL. If the defense can continue being incredible, the Maple Leafs should be in a great spot.
Looking at the Vegas Golden Knights stats
The Vegas offense has been their strength as they are third in the entire league with 135 total goals scored. They are being led by center Chandler Stephenson, who has recorded 35 points (10 goals, 25 assists) and should be able to lead the charge of the offense throughout the rest of the regular season.
The Golden Knights have struggled on the defensive side of the ice this year as their starting goaltender Robin Lehner has not found a groove as of yet. On the season, he is 15-10-0 while allowing 2.92 goals per game with a .906 save percentage. As a whole, Vegas has given up 113 goals this season, which is 23rd in the NHL, so they need to correct that if they want to be a more complete team this season.

Who to Bet Maple Leafs at Golden Knights
The top sportsbooks in the nation are currently listing the Toronto Maple Leafs as a -125 moneyline favorite in this game. The difference is going to be defensively as Toronto is one of the best defenses while Vegas is struggling.
The Maple Leafs are giving up two goals per game in their previous four, while the Golden Knights are allowing 2.75 goals in that same stretch. These NHL teams are pretty evenly matched, so I would avoid the puck line and just go with the Toronto Maple Leafs to cover the spread here.
