Trends

Toronto is 4-1 in their last 5 Sunday games and 10-4 in their last 14 games against the Central. The over is 4-0 in Toronto’s last 4 games. Nashville is 4-0 in their last 4 games against the Atlantic and 2-5 in their last 7 Sunday games. The under is 9-4 in Nashville’s last 13 games. The home team is 4-1 in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings. 

Pick

Toronto comes into this game after winning four of their last five games, while Nashville has lost four of their last six games. Both of these teams will be on the second game of a back to back after playing on Saturday. Nashville allowed seven goals to Seattle on Saturday, while Toronto has gone over 6.5 goals in five straight games. I like the over here.
