Devils vs. Maple Leafs Pick
Devils vs. Maple Leafs Moneyline Pick
- Maple Leafs -120
New Jersey comes in with four straight victories but missing Markstrom puts stress on Allen to step in as the #1 goaltender for the time being. This is a clash of a pair of teams that are in the top five in the league in goals per game this season, so there is firepower to be had. Toronto has seen Stolarz sputter a bit in the early going and Toronto does miss Woll as the 1B in that goaltending duo. Nylander has been terrific and everyone knows how dangerous Matthews is with the puck on his stick. Toronto has had New Jersey’s number of late, including winning all three meetings last season. Look for the Maple Leafs to earn the home win here.
