New Jersey Devils vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction

I’m on the under in this one. New Jersey got by the Islanders with Jake Allen and now send Connor Hellebuyck out here who has been rock solid for the Devils in his new digs. On the flipside, Toronto’s starting Stolarz here and while Bobrovsky was Toronto’s big signing in the offseason, you could make a strong case that it’s been Stolarz who has been better up to this point and I think the under is where it’s at here. Give me the under.
