Why The Maple Leafs Will Cover The Spread/Win
The Maple Leafs have to superstars on their team that should be able to handle business. Both Auston Matthews and William Nylander have been able to dominate the Flyers in the two games played. Toronto needs them to have good games in this one, as well. If they can each put up a goal or two, or at least control the puck, they will win this game on the road.
The Maple Leafs have scored 10 goals against the Flyers this season. This is no surprise as the Maple Leafs are one of the best goal scoring teams in the NHL at 3.58 goals per game. When Toronto scores at least three goals this season, they are 34-6-7. If Toronto puts up at least three goals in this one, they will be able to win the game.
Why The Flyers Will Cover The Spread/Win
The Flyers are a good team, but it is not because of their play in the offensive zone. Philadelphia is not the best scoring team in the NHL, so they need to lock it in on defense. Giving up at most three goals is going to be key for the Flyers in this game. As a team, they allow just 3.02 goals per game. When the Flyers allow at most three goals, they are 34-7-4. Their defensive play is going to be the most important key to the game for Philadelphia.
Final Maple Leafs-Flyers Prediction & Pick
This is going to be a good game between the two teams. The Maple Leafs are one of the better teams in the NHL, though. Their play in the offensive zone on the skates of Matthews and Nylander is hard to ignore. I like the Maple Leafs to score some goals in this one. Because of this, I like the Maple Leafs to go on the road and win this game.
