The Toronto Maple Leafs should be favored because they’re the more talented team on paper, but their offense has yet to get clicking, and they’ve had recent struggles on the road. The Los Angeles Kings have issues in net and could give the Maple Leafs a chance to get going offensively, but they have some offensive pop of their own and that makes them intriguing as a home dog. The home team has won 10 of the last 14 meetings between these clubs. Give me the plus money with the Kings.
