The Toronto Maple Leafs seem to be stuck in neutral at the midway point of the NHL season. Toronto's tied with the Carolina Hurricanes for the second-most points in the league (57), sporting an impressive 25-9-7 record. The results are pretty average as of late for the Maple Leafs, though, with six wins over their last 10, three in their last six,…

The Toronto Maple Leafs will wrap up a five-game home stand and take on the hottest goalie in hockey in Juuse Saros tonight as the Buds host the Nashville Predators as -200 favorites. The big news isn't who the Leafs are playing, but more who they won't have in the lineup, as Auston Matthews missed practice Tuesday and has been ruled out for…

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be without superstar Auston Matthews when they return home to face the surging Nashville Predators in Wednesday night's NHL action. The reigning Hart Trophy winner missed Tuesday's practice due to an undisclosed injury, and was confirmed out by head coach Sheldon Keefe early on Wednesday. That is good news for the…

Red-hot Juuse Saros and the Nashville Predators will take on a Toronto Maple Leafs squad that's missing top-notch scorer Auston Matthews on Wednesday night. Our NHL picks expect team captain John Tavares to step up his game. The Toronto Maple Leafs will wrap up a five-game home stand and take on the hottest goalie in hockey in Juuse Saros tonight…

Capitals' star Alex Ovechkin has finally been reunited with Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson. Welcome to VSiN's NHL Betting Guide for Wedneday, January 11, featuring odds, predictions and best bets. The guide also includes the latest news, projected starting goaltenders, and important injury updates. Whether you're a seasoned NHL bettor or learning…

A team that's halfway through the NHL schedule with less than 10 regulation losses should feel good about itself and provide fans ample positives ahead of playoffs. But these are the Maple Leafs, whose string of six first-round defeats in the Shanaplan era keep clouding such semi-annual midway mirth. You can sense the pessimism in Leafs Nation.…

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be buyers before the March 3 trade deadline, meanwhile the San Jose Sharks are at the other end of the spectrum, as general manager (GM) Mike Grier will look to sell off some of the team's assets. This is likely going to include star forward Timo Meier and if this is indeed the case, Leafs GM Kyle Dubas needs to be…

The Maple Leafs have been getting production from up and down the roster of late and not solely relying on Auston Matthews. Tonight, they get a matchup against one of the worst penalty kills in the league in the Kraken. Goals could come fast and furious. After another high-scoring game in which they lost in a shootout on Tuesday, the Toronto Maple…

Stop me if you have heard this one before: Exiting the holiday break, the Toronto Maple Leafs are well- positioned in the NHL standings and are starting to build a resume of what looks like a Stanley Cup contender. You could have stopped me in most of the seasons under Kyle Dubas' watch, to be sure. Toronto has had a knack for dominating the…

The Toronto Maple Leafs look to extend their streak without a regulation loss to 16 games. Toronto is 12-0-3 over the last 15 games with the 1.87 goals-against average the best in the league during that stretch. This is the fifth consecutive time that Toronto is favored against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden after being listed as the favorite…

After Saturday's overtime loss to the Lightning, the Toronto Maple Leafs face another tough tough test tonight vs. the Dallas Stars, who are scoring at the highest rate since November 1. The Leafs have taken 19 of a possible 22 points and haven't lost in regulation in 12 games. They enter tonight as a road pick'em, but after a sloppy game in net by…

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been stacking wins despite key injuries to the blue line and have been getting elite production from Mitch Marner and goalie Matt Murray. They host a San Jose team that played in Montreal last night but are priced as heavy -280 favorites leaving the best value likely in the player prop market. Luckily for bettors, one…

Mitchell Marner is riding a 17-game point streak and is gunning for the Maple Leafs record of 18 tonight. Still, with the Over on 1.5 points set around+115 - and Marner not getting multiple tallies too often - we think a different market is a safer bet. The Toronto Maple Leafs have been stacking wins despite key injuries to the blue line and have…

The notion that never seemed to make sense in the big picture: The idea of the always reserved O.G. Anunoby growing into an NBA star of any kind. He has been the quiet man playing his quiet game in an overly noisy NBA for years. He doesn't say much for attribution. He doesn't care to create controversy on social media or anywhere else. He even…

A pair of streaking squads are set to clash on Tuesday night when the Vegas Golden Knights travel to the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto to battle the Maple Leafs. Read on for our Golden Knights-Maple Leafs picks and predictions. The Maple Leafs are finally starting to find their footing after racking up three straight wins, and they're gradually…

The Toronto Maple Leafs returned home after a turbulent road trip to a vulnerable Philadelphia Flyers squad. To Toronto's credit, it took care of Philadelphia, downing the Flyers 5-2 on Wednesday night. The schedule takes a tough turn, however, and we'll certainly learn more about the team over this stretch. But until then, here are the latest…

The Toronto Maple Leafs kick off their three-game, four-day California road trip tonight in San Jose. The Sharks have been competitive over their last four games despite a 2-7 record to start the season while the Leafs are coming off another flat performance in a 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights. Find out if Toronto can get right in my free NHL picks…

With Sheldon Keefe shuffling his lines and books not fully adjusting their odds as a result, we can find value on the props market. Alex Kerfoot, in particular, is now skating next to Marner and Matthews and his anytime goal is available at+390. The Toronto Maple Leafs kick off their three-game, four-day California road trip tonight in San Jose.…

In net, the whole position was obviously an unknown. Jack Campbell was an unrestricted free agent and Petr Mrazek was coming off of a nightmare first season in Toronto. Both are in the other conference now. Logically, betting on any two goalies in the league that have flashed ability/shown some form of extended success in their careers to better…

While the star players remain the same, the Leafs added two new goaltenders, plenty of depth forwards, and will now benefit from a full season of Mark Giordano. On paper, this team looks as strong as ever. Toronto's dominant top line is back. Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, and Michael Bunting finished second, fifth, and seventh in points last…

The final countdown towards the 2021-22 NHL season is underway. The Nashville Predators will open the regular season Thursday, October 14th against the league's shiny new team, the Seattle Kraken. The Predators are one of the league's most interesting teams. They're a group that easily has enough talent to do damage late in the year; likewise, they…

Denis Malgin will ultimately feel hard done by if he doesn't make the Toronto Maple Leafs opening night roster. Coming into training camp, very few Toronto Maple Leafs fans would likely have seen this being the case; but Malgin has really pushed his case for a spot in the line-up. Joining up with the team after spending last year back in his native…

The cool autumn wind blistering through the streets of Toronto can only mean one thing: The Maple Leafs are back. The latest: Toronto enters the 2022-23 season still looking to exorcise its playoff demons. Despite another first-round exit last year, expectations remain high for the team, which has the second-shortest odds to win the Stanley…

Matt Murray is scheduled to play the entire game when the Toronto Maple Leafs resume their pre-season schedule against the Montreal Canadiens. The goaltender has already seen action against the Canadiens during training camp. He made 16 saves on 16 shots over 40 minutes as part of his team's 3-0 pre-season victory against Montreal last week. "You…

Most betting sites have the Toronto Maple Leafs as the most favoured Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup in 2022-23 and the second or third most likely in the NHL (from'NHL Stanley Cup Odds: 2022-23 Winner Futures Betting', The Philadelphia Inquirer, 7/21/22). Considering what the Edmonton Oilers accomplished last season, making it to the Western…

How you feel about the Toronto Maple Leafs' 2021-22 is a matter of perspective. Sunny side up: it was the best, most memorable regular season in team history. Toronto smashed its single-season bests for wins (54) and points (115), and superstar center Auston Matthews rewrote the franchise record books. His 60 goals leapfrogged Rick Vaive's…

Make no mistake, Brad Treliving is far from done this offseason. The Calgary Flames currently have 12 forwards listed on their NHL roster, which includes rookie Jakob Pelletier and restricted free agent (RFA) Adam Ruzicka. Pelletier had an outstanding first season in the AHL, putting up 62 points in 66 games, and the 21-year-old has a good shot at…

The Leafs have made a few predictable moves that we discussed in previous editions: adding more draft picks, signing unqualified restricted free agents to cheap prove-it contracts (Nicolas Aube-Kubel and Ilya Samsonov were two players we mentioned specifically), and choosing not to trade any of their top players (the assumption being there weren't…
