One of the biggest NHL rivalries will take place next Saturday night when the Toronto Maple Leafs play the Montreal Canadiens at 06:00 pm CST. For the referred game, the bookies’ odds made the Canadiens favorites to win; however, due to their terrible performances, these teams are urged for a victory that could take them closer to the playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.
In this matter, the Toronto Maple Leafs are expected to show significant offensive improvement, as they haven’t been able to score more than three goals in any of their last five games. Furthermore, it also must be noted that the Maple Leafs currently have the worst defense in the Atlantic Division with 77 goals conceded, so their chances of qualifying for the playoffs are very low.
Meanwhile, the Montreal Canadiens currently stand out as the only team in the Eastern Conference that has lost its last five games, a terrible streak that has its root cause in their terrible defensive performance. In this regard, it’s worth noting that the Canadiens conceded five or more goals in three of their last five games, numbers that are very disappointing for a team that began the season with positive results.

Our Montreal Canadiens vs Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction
With all this in mind, having the Montreal Canadiens as favorites to win this matchup doesn’t make much sense, but it’s a reality that the Toronto Maple Leafs are very far from their best possible shape, so they cannot expect to extend their victorious streak over the Canadiens so easily.
To conclude, due to the bad performances from both defenses, this game is expected to be one of the most entertaining of next Saturday night’s schedule, as many goals could take place at the Bell Centre. Therefore, the pick for the Toronto Maple Leafs – Montreal Canadiens is: Over 5.5 Goals!
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
