BookMaker has the Toronto Maple Leafs listed as -158 moneyline favorites at home against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday evening. Toronto is 6-3-1 in the last ten and has won two of the last three games in the series. The Maple Leafs have won by an average margin of 1 goal per game over the last ten and 2.33 goals per game over the last three contests.
Toronto is the more talented team and will have the better starting goalie in this matchup as Joseph Woll has won three of the four games he has started this season with a .961 save percentage and is allowing an average of 1.33 goals per game. The Maple Leafs have also been the better team in the series, going 6-3-1 in the last ten and 2-1 in the last three meetings which is why I am taking the moneyline for the Toronto Maple Leafs at -158 when they host the Los Angeles Kings.
