Maple Leafs vs. Canucks Preview
Vancouver has allowed four or more goals in 10 of 15 games this season.
At 5-on-5, the Canucks have let up 44 goals, more than any other team, and the expected numbers align, with a league-high 3.14 expected goals against per 60.
Leevi Merilainen has started the last three games and has been around average. If Vancouver goes back to Kevin Lankinen, he has by far the worst numbers of any goalie this season: a 1-7 record, a 6.17 GAA, and an .808 save percentage.
On the other side, Toronto’s scoring has traveled well, with 32 goals in seven road games, better than 4.5 a night, and four or more in five of them.
The Maple Leafs have also gone over this number in four of their last five games overall, scoring 24 goals in that stretch.
Both sides of this matchup point to Toronto scoring, and 3.5 looks like a low bar against a team that has struggled to stop anyone.
Best Bet: Maple Leafs Team Total Over 3.5 Goals (-130, FanDuel)
