Toronto: form and statistics

Toronto was left without one of the leading players. Marner went to Las Vegas, and his replacement came Nicolas Roy. In any case, for the Leafs this is an unequal exchange, but the team still remains among the leaders of the East. Last season, Toronto almost reached the conference finals, but Florida was more convincing - 4:3 in the series in favour of the Panthers.

In the preseason, they showed mediocre results. In six games played, they exchanged victories with Ottawa and Montreal, and twice were weaker than Detroit. 

Montreal: form and statistics

Montreal has big ambitions. At the end of last season, Ivan Demidov, who previously played for SKA, joined the ranks of the Canadian club. The Russian forward has already made a favourable impression of himself, and the fans trust him more than ever. Against this backdrop, Ivan is one of the top contenders for the Calder Trophy.

In the preseason games, the Canadiens looked very decent. Martin St. Louis picked a good combination, thanks to which his wards won four victories in six games: over Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Toronto and Montreal.

Toronto vs Montreal: head to head statistics

Toronto and Montreal crossed paths twice in preseason games. The rivals traded victories then, with the Maple Leafs winning 7:2 and the Canadiens winning 4:2.

Toronto vs Montreal match prediction 9 October 2025

Bookmakers have written off Montreal, which we do not recommend doing. The Canadiens have every chance to win, given that so far Maple Leafs will not be able to fully replace Marner, who left for Vegas. Also, just recently the opponents crossed paths twice and twice broke the standard total more. The rivals have a strong offensive power, so we suggest not to make up anything and play for goals.

Our main prediction: is Total Over 5.5 for a coefficient of 1.71 in the betway bookmaker.

Our betting tip on the match: is X2 for a coefficient 1.76 in the bet365 bookmaker.

Our final betting tip on the match: is Correct Score 2:2 for a coefficient 11.00 in the 1xbet bookmaker.
