Blue Jackets vs. Maple Leafs Prediction

Money Line Pick for Blue Jackets vs. Maple Leafs

  • Columbus Blue Jackets ML (4 Units)

The Blue Jackets have won three of their last five games, while the Maple Leafs have lost four of their last five games. Columbus has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively and scored nine goals in their last three road games. They haven’t been as good on special teams, converting over 17 percent of their power play opportunities. The Maple Leafs are one of the worst penalty-killing teams in the league, and they’re not playing well defensively, giving up 11 goals in their last three home games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Blue Jackets.

The Maple Leafs won’t be as successful offensively because they’re not playing as well, and they scored nine goals in their last three home games. They’ve struggled on special teams, converting 15 percent of their power play opportunities. The Blue Jackets aren’t great at killing penalties, but they’re playing better defensively, giving up 10 goals in their last three games, so expect them to keep Toronto’s offense in check. Take Columbus on the money line.

Over/Under Pick for Blue Jackets vs. Maple Leafs

  • Over (4 Units)

The Blue Jackets played over the total in three of their last four games. Columbus averages 2.95 goals per game. They averaged 2.33 goals per game in their last three games and converted 40 percent of their power play chances. They are facing a team that killed 85 percent of their penalties in their last three games and gave up nine total goals. The Maple Leafs average 3.50 goals per game. They averaged 2.66 goals per game in their last three games and converted none of their seven power play chances.
