Rangers vs Maple Leafs prediction

Rangers vs Maple Leafs best bet: Under 6.5 (-130)

The Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Rangers rank 27th and 29th in expected goals per 60 minutes at five-on-five in March, placing them 15th and 16th in the Eastern Conference, respectively.

In addition to generating high-quality scoring chances at 5-on-5, both teams have received solid goaltending.

Toronto starter Joseph Woll is flashing a .909 save percentage with 7.14 goals saved above expected across his past six starts, and New York star Igor Shesterkin sports respective .912 and 6.19 marks through his past nine games.

Goals will be at a premium at Scotiabank Arena tonight.

Rangers vs Maple Leafs same-game parlay

The Rangers have lost five straight with just 10 total goals, so I’m expecting the Leafs to build off Tuesday’s win over Boston. 

While Toronto center John Tavares failed to pick up three shots for the first time in five games last night, the veteran registered six attempts and should rebound tonight. New York has also allowed a healthy 33.6 shots per game since the trade deadline.

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
