Toronto hasn't yet rounded into form offensively; underperforming in expected goal share over its last five games. There's undoubtedly a shooting regression coming for a team this talented up front but the Leafs' blue line will be under siege all night against a Kings team that is getting production from all four lines. I give the Leafs a slight edge in net but current form for LA, despite the loss on Saturday, makes the Kings a value proposition at +122 or better.
With what have been two solid goalies in the nets (Cam Talbot for the Kings, Joseph Woll, and his 1.33 GAA for the Leafs), we were looking for a good under price which we suspected could be available here at Scotiabank with each team scoring goals pretty freely. True, only once in the last seven games have the Kings featured a scoreline beneath seven, but in the last three starts made in goal by Toronto's Woll, he's only allowed two goals combined. Play Kings-Leafs Under
The Kings at a plus price look a pretty good idea as their only losses the last two weeks have come vs. the red-hot Bruins and Golden Knights. Cam Talbot getting the hang of things in goal as Todd McLellan thinking this rotation in goal with Pheonix (with an "eo") Copley has been working effectively. Traditional tough scheduling spot for teams like the Leafs, coming home for the first night off a long road trip. Someone is also going to start solving Joseph Woll (1.33 GAA) in the Toronto goal pretty soon. Play Kings on Money Line
This is one where I would have considered the puckline on the road team if it were about the same price as the home ML, but it's 30 cents or so more expensive, so we'll just roll with the Leafs behind perhaps new No. 1 netminder Joseph Woll, who is third in the league in GAA and second in SV. Toronto is averaging 4.33 goals per game at home, while LA's Cam Talbot has allowed at least three goals in four of his five starts this season.
