Stars vs. Maple Leafs picks and odds: Value on Dallas as road underdog

The Toronto Maple Leafs host the undefeated Dallas Stars on Thursday night.

The Maple Leafs lost to the Arizona Coyotes last time they took the ice. They now face a Dallas team that's riding a three-game winning streak.

Dallas is a +132 favorite to beat Toronto at home on Thursday. Toronto has struggled to score goals in the early going. Scott Wedgewood will start in goal for Dallas instead of Jake Oettinger. William Nylander has scored three goals for Toronto in four games. The rest of the team has combined for just eight goals.

Stars are 12th in the NHL with an expected goals-per-60 mark of 3.45. Dallas has scored 13 goals in three games this season.

Dallas is a road underdog against Toronto. The game should be close. The odds are good for Dallas plus a goal. Both of Toronto's wins this year have come by one goal, so it hasn't been blowing opponents out.
