The Panthers are 8-2 in their last 10 road games and 5-1 in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest. The Maple Leafs are 21-7 in their last 28 home games and 38-18 in their last 56 overall. The over is 35-17-2 in Panthers last 54 overall. The over is 28-11-2 in Maple Leafs last 41 overall. The Panthers are 1-7 in the last 8 meetings in Toronto.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to get the slight edge here because of the home ice, but there’s no betting against these Panthers and cheap prices. Arguably the most talented team in the league and an offense that can explode at any point, I’m not in the business of betting against the Panthers as long as the price is reasonable. You wont see these prices with the Panthers often. Take advantage while you still can.
