The Toronto Maple Leafs welcome the Carolina Hurricanes to Scotiabank Arena tonight, and these two teams couldn’t be headed in more opposite directions through the final weeks of the regular season.
My top Hurricanes vs. Maple Leafs predictions expect Toronto starter Joseph Woll to see oodles of rubber from a relentless Carolina attack.

Hurricanes vs Maple Leafs prediction
Hurricanes vs Maple Leafs best bet: Joseph Woll Over 30.5 saves (-105)
Toronto Maple Leafs' netminder Joseph Woll boasts a .921 save percentage and 5.77 goals saved above expected over his past four starts, finishing with 30+ saves in each.
The Carolina Hurricanes are also averaging a league-high 34.8 shots per game and own the top Corsi For percentage at five-on-five since the Olympics, while Toronto is last in both, including allowing 35.0 shots per game.
With Carolina battling for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, I’m not anticipating any letup from the Hurricanes tonight.

Hurricanes vs Maple Leafs same-game parlay
In addition to the glaring possession mismatch at 5-on-5, the Hurricanes rank third in expected goals percentage over that span, while the Leafs again check in 32nd.
As a result, I’m not anticipating Toronto scoring enough to push this total Over the number.
Turning to the final leg of this SGP, Leafs winger Matias Maccelli is seeing increased minutes and has picked up two or more shots in each of his past three games. Bank on that production to continue.
