The Toronto Maple Leafs (46-25-10) and Tampa Bay Lightning (44-29-8) will meet for the fourth time this season in an outstanding Atlantic Division matchup on Wednesday, April 17, at 7:00 PM ET at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. The Lightning have a slight edge at home, with a moneyline at -130.

The Maple Leafs have lost their last three out of five matches, and they are currently on a three-game losing streak. Their latest defeat was a 5-2 battle against the Florida Panthers, marking their third consecutive loss in which they allowed five goals or more.

Their ability to land wins on the road has been excellent this season, as their record currently sits at 24-10-6. With Auston Matthews in the lineup, they have a quality chance at success since he leads the league in scoring 69 goals.

The Maple Leafs have a solid separation between their offense and defense, but it needs to be greater. Their offense scores 3.63 goals and 32.5 shots per game. Power plays have been a toss-up, with 57 goals scored and 54 allowed, and a percentage of 24.3.

On defense, they allow 3.15 goals and 29.8 shots a game. While they have a solid foundation on both ends of the ice, they must capitalize on these opportunities. Their penalty kill percentage is another area that could use work, as it currently stands at 76.9.

The Lightning have lost three straight and are 1-4 in their last five games. In their latest defeat, they came up short 4-2 in their battle with the Buffalo Sabres.

They have established a home record of 24-11-5, which shows a good opportunity for them to get back on track. Nikita Kucherov nearly leads them in all offensive categories, with 142 points and 99 assists, which are his first and second-leading stats in the league, respectively.

The Lightning have accumulated 3.48 goals and 29.2 shots per game. Their power plays have been great, as they have scored 70 goals and allowed 39 with a percentage of 28.7.

Their defense allows 3.25 goals and 29.5 shots per game. If they can slow down the Maple Leafs to less than this, they have a better chance at success. They have a slight edge with their penalty kill percentage at 83.1.

Great options await for NHL bets with MyBookie, as the Tampa Bay Lightning are slightly favored. The Maple Leafs lead this series 2-1, but the Lightning won the last matchup earlier this month 4-1 and have a great opportunity at home to even it out.
