Anaheim Ducks vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction

I’m leaning towards Toronto here. The Maple Leafs have owned Anaheim in this matchup at home over the years, and while the Ducks got a nice win in Winnipeg in their last game, I still have a bit of a hard time trusting this team on the road. I think Toronto can snag the win at home here as they’re desperate to just snap out of this funk so give me the Maple Leafs.
