The Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs meet in NHL action from Scotiabank Arena on Sunday. Let’s dive into the odds, matchup history and make a prediction for this game.
Odds
Toronto is listed as a -300 home favorite while Detroit is a +250 road underdog. The total for this game is set at 6.5 goals.
Matchup History
Detroit’s win over Toronto, 4-1, back on January 12th, 2023, snapped Toronto’s lengthy win streak in this matchup and was just their 7th win in the last 29 meetings between these two teams.
Trends
Detroit is 5-1 in their last 6 Sunday games and 1-8 in their last 9 games played on 1 days rest while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 road games. Toronto is 10-4 in their last 14 games played on no rest and 5-1 in their last 6 Sunday games while the over is 5-2 in their last 7 games overall.
Pick
I’m siding with the Maple Leafs on the puck line here. I just feel like the Leafs are the better team in a decent spot here with the Red Wings struggling in general, but they also haven’t been great on the road for some time now. Toronto’s still trying to lock up home ice and the 2nd spot in the Atlantic division and I think Toronto gets a win on the -1.5 puck line here.
