Maple Leafs vs. Red Wings Picks

Money Line Pick for Maple Leafs vs. Red Wings

  • Toronto Maple Leafs ML (4 Units)

The Maple Leafs looked good in their first game, especially on the offensive end, with the team scoring five goals. The Red Wings didnโ€™t put up much of a fight in their first game at home, and they also struggled on special teams, killing less than 70 percent of their penalties, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Maple Leafs.

Detroit won't be as successful offensively because they didnโ€™t look good in their first game, struggling to score against a team that had one of the worst defenses in the league last season. The Maple Leafs killed 100 percent of their penalties in their first game and gave up only two goals, so expect them to keep Detroitโ€™s offense in check. Take Toronto on the money line.

Over/Under Pick for Maple Leafs vs. Red Wings

  • Over (4 Units)

The Maple Leafs averaged 3.26 goals per game last season. They scored five goals in their first game and failed to convert any of their power play opportunities. They are facing a team that gave up 3.16 goals per game last season and five goals in their first game. The Red Wings averaged 2.87 goals per game last season. They scored one goal in their first game, and theyโ€™re facing a team that gave up 2.79 goals per game last season and two goals in their first game.. Toronto will do most of the heavy-lifting as the two teams score enough goals to push the score over the total. The Maple Leafs and Red Wings played over the total in their last two meetings.
