Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens will start their 2025-26 NHL season with an exciting game at Scotiabank Arena. The Maple Leafs had a solid campaign last year, winning the Atlantic Division with an impressive 82-52-26 record. However, their divisional rivals, Florida Panthers, outlasted them 4-3 in a thrilling postseason series. Even worse, the Panthers defeated Edmonton Oilers to lift the Stanley Cup. The Maple Leafs must dust themselves off and give it another shot.
Montreal Canadiens, on the other hand, will be eager to get off to a blazing start in the Atlantic Division. They fought hard to clinch the fifth spot in the division last season with an 82-40-31 record. This was good enough to reward them with a postseason berth against the Capitals, who ended up winning the series 4-1. The Canadiens will know that defeating the Eastern Conference champions would make a huge statement about their ambitions this season.

Our Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction
The Maple Leafs are the -109 betting favorites. They’ve looked shaky in their NHL preseason campaign, winning just twice in their six assignments. Conversely, their rivals in this game have built impressive winning momentum ahead of the season, picking up four victories out of a possible six. The Canadiens have also got results against Atlantic Division teams lately, boasting an 8-1-1 record in their last 10 matches. They also won 2-4 in their previous visit to Toronto. We think the Canadiens have what it takes to cause problems for the Maple Leafs. Still, the Maple Leafs should edge them out with a 4-2 or 4-3 win.
