Maple Leafs vs. Blues is a game to watch tonight.

Michael Bunting has a 10-game point streak and is playing on the top line with Auston Matthews and William Nylander. The first line is more than probable to record a point as Matthews, Nyland and Bunts have a combined 26 even-strength points over their last 12 games. The Leafs are heavy road favorites and have projected team total of 3.5.

Michael Bunting is over 0.5 points (-141 at Sports Interaction).

The Maple Leafs are 21-7-6 and heading into the holiday break with a plus-29 goal differential. The Blues are 5-5 straight up in December with negative goal difference. Jordan Kyrou is injured and is questionable for tonight's game. The Maple Leaf's special teams and penalty kill are better than the Blues'. Rasmus Sandin, Jake Muzzin and Morgan Reilly are injured for the game, but the team is still in good shape. They have the better power play and the best penalty killing. St. Louis has the worst goal-differential in the league. It's a good bet to play the home team.

Maple Leafs and St. Louis play each other. The game is a 6-6 Over. Both teams have good special teams. St Louis has one of the worst penalty kills in hockey. Toronto is at its best when it plays a defensive game. The team with the most time off is more likely to come out flat. I'm playing this Over up to -125. It's tough not to look at a Blues game total of 6 and not take the Over, because the team's defensive play could take a game to get back together following some time.

The Underdog is 5-2 SU in the last seven meetings between the Maple Leafs and the Blues.
