Maple Leafs vs Sharks Prediction

The Sharks have gone more than a month without winning a game, and they have just six wins on the road this season. The Maple Leafs are going through their best stretch of the season and that offense is rolling. This has a chance to get ugly. In fact, the Sharks have lost the last three games against the Maple Leafs, getting outscored 14-3 during that span. You shouldn’t expect anything different with the way both teams look. Give me the Maple Leafs and PL for max betting value.
