Shane’s Free Pick

The Maple Leafs offense struggled in the last game, but they are going to have no issue getting back on the right track here. The Panthers defense gave up nine goals over the last two games and they are going to really struggle again in this game. Look for the Maple Leafs to score at least five goals here, and that is going to be enough to get the job done here. Back the Maple Leafs on the money line.
