Calgary is 2-6 in their last 8 games as a road underdog and 1-4 in their last 5 road games while the under is 7-3 in their last 10 games against a team with a winning record. Toronto is 1-5 in their last 6 games overall and 1-4 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall. The under is 9-2-1 in the last 12 meetings between these two teams.

I think a case could be made for both sides as Toronto’s the better and deeper team, but Freddie Andersen’s playing through and injury and the backups haven’t been reliable, mainly Michael Hutchinson. Calgary on the other hand has goal-scoring issues of their own, but I think this matchup ends up seeing 7+ goals so give me the over here.
