The Toronto Maple Leafs lost their first game of the season to Montreal. They travel back home to play the Washington Capitals. The Caps lost the first match 5-2 in DC. Ilya Samsonov will start for Toronto. The ML are moving up to -200 from -175. I'm leaning towards the Caps at +170. It's a back-to-back game. Toronto closed at -240 last night. There are some familiar faces out of their lineup.

Last night's game finished with 5.12 expected goals and just over 4.0 expected goal at even strength. Last night the game closed at 7 in most places. The game is back-to-back so both teams are starting backup goalies. I'll wait for a 7 and hit the Under.  

The Capitals are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Toronto.
