Maple Leafs Dealing with Tired Legs

The Maple Leafs are dealing with tired legs after facing off against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.

Even on tired legs, the Maple Leafs are going to find success here. The Ducks are averaging only 2.56 goals per game and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. The Maple Leafs are averaging 3.53 goals and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. The Ducks won’t be keeping up and the Maple Leafs will get the job done here. Back the Maple Leafs on the money line.
