BETTING TRENDS

Toronto are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games.

Toronto are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games against San Jose.

Toronto are 13-7 SU in their last 20 games on the road.

The total has gone OVER in 5 of Toronto's last 7 games when playing on the road against San Jose.

The total has gone OVER in 4 of San Jose's last 5 games.

San Jose are 7-13 SU in their last 20 games.

The total has gone OVER in 7 of San Jose's last 8 games at home.

 

Prediction

The Maple Leafs have been good so far this season winning 4 of their first 6 games and will likely be one of the best teams this year. The Sharks are also playing great offense scoring 4.8 goals per game in their last 3 games but they have struggled against the Maple Leafs losing 8 of the last 10 head to head games. Expect a high scoring game as both offenses are hot and they're not playing much defense. Take the over.
