Maple Leafs vs Flames Prediction

I’m on the Maple Leafs in this game. Toronto is too talented of a team to continue struggling like this and head-to-head, they’ve owned the recent history against the Calgary Flames. Calgary has also been far less effective on the road this season and the Maple Leafs need a get right win really badly right now. Give me Toronto in this one.
