Canucks vs Maple Leafs prediction

Canucks vs Maple Leafs best bet: Maple Leafs team total Over 3.5 (-102)

The Toronto Maple Leafs have picked up points in eight straight games, while the Vancouver Canucks have lost five in a row and seven of their last eight contests. 

Goal-scoring has been the difference between the two teams. The Leafs are doing plenty of it and the Canucks are allowing far too many against. 

The Leafs have gone Over this number in five of their last eight games, averaging 4.25 goals per game over that stretch. 

Meanwhile, the Canucks have struggled defensively since trading away Quinn Hughes, now ranking 31st in goals allowed per game this season, surrendering 3.53 on average. 

That number has ballooned to 4.6 goals allowed per game over this current five-game losing skid, too. At nearly even-money, this line is a gift.
