Toronto Maple Leafs

The first part of the back-to-back was good for Toronto. Sheldon Keough's team beat Ottawa 3-0 brightly, scoring all their pucks in the second period. Also, the Russian goalkeeper Ilya Samsonov registered his fourth shutout this season. Toronto has second place in the Atlantic Division. It still has a home advantage in the first-round playoff series with Tampa Bay.

Detroit Red Wings

After the game with Toronto, Derek Lalonde's team went to Montreal and had the first game in Winnipeg, where they lost to the Jets 2:6. Moreover, Detroit scored two pucks in this game at the end of the third period with the score 0:6. The Red Wings are not going to be in the playoffs, so this result is unsurprising. Although before that, Detroit had won Pittsburgh and Carolina at home.

Expert Betting Tips

Detroit has been playing badly – eight defeats in regular time in the previous nine games. Why don't the Red Wings lose in Toronto? We bet on the Maple Leafs, despite the back-to-back. As the game with Ottawa showed, Toronto has seriously decided not to give Tampa Bay second place in the division. It will undoubtedly use an excellent opportunity to strengthen its position in the standings in a game with an outsider. Toronto at home and Detroit away are the grassroots teams. And in recent years, they have mostly not played very effectively with each other.
