Lightning vs Maple Leafs Picks, Predictions, and Odds Tonight

Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point are the top line for the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost two straight games in regulation for first time this season. Tampa have won five straight and took a 4-3 OT win over the Maple Leaf back on December 5.

Nikita Kucherov has been a force of late and has 16 points over the Lightning’s last 10, including 14 assists. He's playing with Brayden Point and is getting big minutes, at over 21 per game and getting over 75% of the power-play time for one of league's best units. KUCheroov has an assist in six straight games and he's 9-2 to the Over in his last 11.

Nikita Kucherov over 0.5 assists is the best bet at SportsInteraction.

Lightning vs Maple Leafs is tonight. Sports Interaction is one of Canada's best bettors.

The Lightning are 5-0 SU in their last five and 8-2 SU on the moneyline in last 10 games. The Lightning have won three straight games from Toronto. The Leafs have lost two straight in regulation for the first time this season. They are still missing Morgan Rielly and Jake Muzzin. Matt Murray hasn't been confirmed for Toronto and he's been playing poorly recently. Tampa scored four goals against MattMurray in the last meeting. Andrei Vazilevskiy has been getting better in goal recently and is 8th in GAA. He's also supported by an elite penalty kill and a No.5 power play.

Mikhail Sergachev is working with the second power-play unit at practice.

The Leafs have gone 3-1 to the Over across their last four games. The Bolts haven't allowed a PP goal in six games and have killed 22 of their 24 penalties. Last meeting saw over seven expected goals, 72 shots, and three power-play goals. I'm leaning toward the Under tonight. The Lightning's offense is also making betting the under difficult. They are one of three teams averaging at least 4.00 goals per game over their recent 10 matches.

The Over is 6-1 in the last seven meetings between the Lightning and the Maple Leafs.
