The home team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. The favorite is 8-1 in the last 9 meetings.
The Anaheim Ducks make a case in the underdog role, given they have the rest advantage and the Maple Leafs don’t look so hot right now. However, the Toronto Maple Leafs are the clear and away better team, and I’d assume they’d get their act together than the Ducks do. The Anaheim Ducks are a complete mess at both ends of the ice through 8 games, and you can argue they’re the worst team in the league. I want nothing to do with the Ducks. Give me the Maple Leafs and the PL for max betting value.
