Oilers at Maple Leafs: Projected starting goalies
Mike Smith (11-3-1, 2.44 GAA, .918 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Jack Campbell (6-0-0, 1.48 GAA, .945 SV%, 2 SO)
Smith did a good job on Saturday in a seesaw affair, but ultimately he and the Oilers fell 4-3 in overtime. He made 27 saves on 31 shots and is now 0-2-1 with a 3.80 GAA and .867 SV% across his three starts and four appearances against the Leafs this season.
Campbell allowed three goals on 20 shots in the overtime win Saturday, and the total goals allowed were actually a season high. It still didn’t prevent him from running his record to 6-0-0. He has been a godsend for the Leafs, especially since Frederik Andersen has been in and out of the lineup due to a lower-body ailment. Campbell is 2-0-0 with a 1.49 GAA and .940 SV% with a shutout against the Oil this season.

Oilers at Maple Leafs: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Maple Leafs 4, Oilers 2
Money line (ML)
The MAPLE LEAFS (-155) have had their way against the Oilers (+130) this season, and it has gone from a coincidence to a trend. Toronto is 6-0-1 across the past seven meetings after losing 3-1 in regulation in the very first meeting Jan. 20. Edmonton will be very pleased that this is the last regular-season meeting between the two sides.

Against the spread (ATS)
The MAPLE LEAFS -1.5 (+165) are worth a light bet on the puck line. They have won by two or more goals in four of the six victories over the Oilers this season. And six of the previous 10 victories overall have been by two or more goals.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 6.5 (-105) bettors were feeling the sting after the Leafs scored a game-tying goal with 3:22 in regulation Saturday to force overtime, eventually winning 4-3. It was a tough pill to swallow. Still, don’t let that dissuade you from hitting the Under here, as a line of 6.5 is just a little too high for teams who know each other so well.
