Flames vs Maple Leafs Prediction
The Maple Leafs are probably the better team, and they’ve won 8 of the last 10 games against the Flames. The Flames haven’t beaten the Maple Leafs since February 2022. Still, the Maple Leafs aren’t in great form, and they’ve had issues on the road all season. Yes, the Flames have issues of their own, but we’re getting them at home and at the more favorable price. The Flames have been at their best at home, where they have 14 wins. In a battle of two struggling teams, I’ll take the home team and the better price. Give me the Flames.
