How Do the Maple Leafs Bounce Back?

The big question for the Maple Leafs is how they are going to bounce back from Wednesday’s game and a loss to the Canadiens. The Maple Leafs had 48 shots on goal, but not one made it into the back of the net. The defense wasn’t actually that bad giving up only a goal but it wasn’t enough. Anthony Stolarz started in goal and he saved 26 of the 27 shots that he faced. Mitchell Marner and Auston Matthews both started in goal but neither were able to find the back of the net. The Maple Leafs did really dominate most of the game they just couldn’t score the two goals to win. The Maple Leafs won 24 faceoffs which was 66.7 percent of the faceoffs. In this game, the Maple Leafs need to find a way to score. 

Devils Look for Third Win

The Devils have already won two straight games across the pond against the Buffalo Sabres. On Saturday the Devils faced off against the Sabres and they were able to secure the 3-1 victory. Jack Hughes had a strong game finishing with two assists and six shots on goal. Jake Allen started in goal and he saved 17 of the 18 shots that he faced. 

Seamus Casey, Paul Cotter, and Timo Meier all scored one goal and it’s going to need to be good here again with the offense. If the Devils want to find success in this game the defense is going to need to be good, but also they need to get out to a fast start. If they can put the pressure on, they have a great chance to come out on top. 

Why the Devils Will Beat the Maple Leafs

• The Devils have won five of their last six night games against opponents on a losing streak.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs New Jersey Devils Prediction

Give me the Devils here. The Maple Leafs have to have lost all kinds of confidence after they found so much success putting shots on goal, but couldn’t score a goal on Wednesday night. Now they have tired legs and it’s not going to get any easier here. The Devils offense is going to get out to a fast start and they are going to come out on top. Back the Devils on the money line to cash here.
