Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers Prediction

The Florida Panthers will turn things around eventually, but until they do, I have to lean toward another good team and the plus money. The Toronto Maple Leafs are talented, and they’re having a good week with four straight wins and a couple in the underdog role. The Panthers are just a mess right now with losses in 6 of their last 7 games, and in most of those games they’ve been a wreck defensively. The value is with the Maple Leafs and the more favorable price.
