Avalanche vs Maple Leafs prediction

Avalanche vs Maple Leafs best bet: Over 6.5 (-125)

The Toronto Maple Leafs rank eighth in NHL scoring, while the Colorado Avalanche lead the league with an average of 3.94 goals per game. 

Conversely, both sides have struggled defending lately, with the Avs losing four of their last five outings — surrendering 23 goals in that span.

As for Toronto, it's allowed 29 over its last six games, going 1-3-2 in that stretch while going Over the total five times.

The Over has been an extremely profitable play for Leafs bettors this season, going 30-20-2, and I anticipate yet another high-scoring affair tonight with the high-flying Avalanche in town.
