Montreal Canadiens vs Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction
You can make a case for the Canadiens, as they just beat the Maple Leafs a couple of weeks ago, and they have 7 road wins. However, the Maple Leafs have put together probably their best week of the season, and they’re at home, where 8 of their 13 wins have come. Also, the Maple Leafs have owned the Habs over the years, winning 7 of the last 10 meetings. The Maple Leafs have found their groove and their offense is rolling. We’re also not getting enough bang for our buck with the Habs. Give me the Maple Leafs and the cheap price.
