Toronto Maple Leafs at Florida Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Toronto Maple Leafs at Florida Panthers odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Toronto Maple Leafs (46-24-10) take on the Florida Panthers (51-24-6) Tuesday at Amerant Bank Arena. Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Maple Leafs vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Leafs have 2 games left, and they have nothing to play for locked in to the 3rd spot in the Atlantic Division. They’ve lost 2 straight after a 6-5 loss to New Jersey and 5-4 OT loss to Detroit. C Auston Matthews has goals in 8 straight games. He has a career-high 69, and you had better believe he’s gunning for the 1st 70-goal season since Teemu Selanne and Alexander Mogilny each had 76 in 1992-93.

The Panthers are 1 point out of the top spot in the Atlantic behind the Boston Bruins. The Panthers have won 3 straight after a 3-2 OT win against the Buffalo Sabres Saturday. If things remain the same, the Panthers would take on Toronto in the 1st round. If Florida moves up, they’d face the Tampa Bay Lightning. LW Matthew Tkachuk, in the midst of a bit of a down season, has points in 5 of 6 games.

Maple Leafs at Panthers projected goalies

Joseph Woll (12-10-1, 2.88 GAA, .907 SV%) vs. Anthony Stolarz (15-7-2, 2.03 GAA, .926 SV%, 2 SO)

Woll receives his 1st start since last Tuesday when he stopped 18 of 20 shots in a 5-2 win over the New Jersey Devils. He beat the Panthers in a 2-1 shootout W Nov. 28, stopping 38 of 39.

The Panthers are going with their backup in the season finale, and he’s coming off a shutout over the Ottawa Senators last Tuesday. He stopped all 26 shots he faced, and he has stopped 65 of 70 shots fired his way in 3 appearances this month. He was between the pipes in a 2-1 shootout loss to Toronto Nov. 28, stopping 31 of 32.

Maple Leafs at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Maple Leafs 3, Panthers 2

Moneyline

The Panthers are so invested in this game that . . . they’re running their backup goalie out there. You know who is invested? AM34 and his pursuit of 70 goals.

The Leafs are 24-9-6 on the road this season, and I see them as the hungrier team. Take MAPLE LEAFS +135.

Puck line/Against the spread

There were no anytime goal props available at press time, but I’m looking for Matthews to continue lighting the lamp. A sharp book has his anytime goal at -137, and FanDuel Sportsbook has him at -110. Head over there and snag that before the market corrects.

Over/Under

The Over is just 1-9 in the last 10 meetings. We have had 6 goals in a meeting just once in the last 7 matchups.

LEAN UNDER 6 (+100).

Maple Leafs at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 4, Maple Leafs 2

Moneyline

The PANTHERS (-145) are a solid value as moderate favorites on home ice.

Florida is in a 3-way battle for the final 2 Wild-Card spots in the Eastern Conference, while the Maple Leafs (+120) are locked into their playoff spot, and it isn’t quite as desperate as the home side for the win. Look for Florida to get a key 2 points, moving closer to a playoff spot.

Puck line/Against the spread

The PANTHERS -1.5 (+165) are a solid value on the puck line, too.

Florida has won 6 in a row, while going 4-0 in the last 4 games inside the Atlantic Division, and 4-0 in the last 4 games when playing on a day of rest.

During Florida’s 6-game win streak, it is outscoring the opposition 28-9, including 4 wins by 2 or more goals.

Over/Under

UNDER 7 (-120) is the lean, but be careful.

While the Under is 5-2 in the last 7 games overall for the Leafs, the Over is 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings, including 4-1 in the last 5 battles in Sunrise. The Over is 5-2-1 in the last 8 games at home for Florida, too.

Toronto Maple Leafs at Florida Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Toronto Maple Leafs at Florida Panthers odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Toronto Maple Leafs (42-19-9) play the 3rd contest of a 5-game road trip against the Florida Panthers (36-28-7) Thursday. Puck drop from FLA Live Arena is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Maple Leafs vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Maple Leafs were feeling pretty good about themselves after a 5-2 win at home against the Carolina Hurricanes Friday and opened their road trip with a 5-4 shootout victory at the Ottawa Senators Saturday. However, Toronto was given a hard dose of reality in a 7-2 loss against the New York Islanders Tuesday as they headed south.

The Panthers were also feeling good about themselves, going 6-0-1 from March 4-20. However, Florida was also given a dose of reality as it was doubled up 6-3 against the Philadelphia Flyers Tuesday.

These teams last met in Toronto on Jan. 17 when the Leafs skated away with a 5-4 overtime win as the Over (6.5) cashed.

Maple Leafs at Panthers projected goalies

Matt Murray (13-7-2, 2.96 GAA, .905 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Sergei Bobrovsky (24-17-3, 2.98 GAA, .904 SV%, 1 SO)

Murray was sensational Saturday in Ottawa against his former team, stopping 48 of the 52 shots he faced in the victory. However, he has allowed exactly 4 goals in each of his past 6 starts, and he faced 35 or fewer shots in each of the other 5. That includes 4 goals allowed on just 8 shots in Toronto on Jan. 17, and he was pulled early in the 2nd period of that comeback win.

Bobrovsky allowed just 2 goals on 22 shots in a win at the Detroit Red Wings Monday, his 3rd straight start with a win. He has also started 7 straight starts without a loss in regulation, suffering only an OTL against the Winnipeg Jets at home on March 11. He is 6-1-1 with a 2.60 GAA and .903 SV% in 8 starts in March.

Maple Leafs at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 4, Maple Leafs 2

Moneyline

The PANTHERS (-110) are worth a look on home ice.

The Panthers were red-hot until the setback in Philadelphia, but that was a tough spot with a quick turnaround after playing at Detroit Monday. No rest and travel results in a difficult game the following night, especially with a backup goaltender.

Florida is still 6-2 in the past 8 games and 5-1 in the past 6 against Eastern Conference foes. It is also 19-7 in the past 26 home games against the Leafs. Look for Florida to continue its dominance in the series.

Puck line/Against the spread

The PANTHERS -1.5 (+180) are worth a shot on the puck line for a chance to nearly double up.

Florida has covered the puck line in 3 of its last 4 as a favorite, winning those 3 games by an average of 3.0 goals.

However, each of the last 3 meetings in this series has been won by the home team in overtime, so go lightly.

Over/Under

The Under 7.5 (-170) is priced a little too high for my liking. It’s rare to see a total of 7 offered, let alone 7.5.

While 6 of the past 8 meetings in this series have had a total of 8 or more goals, and both teams saw a total of 9 goals in their games on Tuesday, it’s too much risk for not enough reward.

PASS.
