Florida Panthers vs Toronto Maple Leafs over 7 (-105)
This game has high total written all over it. Aside from the pure matchup, there is too much offensive talent in this game for there to not be a high total. Both the Panthers and Maple Leafs are in the top 8 in the NHL in goals scored per game. That strength could be neutralized if there was strong goal prevention as well. But only one of these teams is strong on the defensive side of the puck as well. That would be Toronto. Despite that strength, the Leafs have allowed 4+ goals in 5 of their last 9 games including 5+ goals in 2 of their last 4. The pure matchup of offensive powerhouses facing questionable or slumping defense and goaltending is a great recipe for an over.
The Panthers and Maple Leafs have met twice this season in games that both went over the total. With 17 goals scored in those games, the average game total head to head has been 8.50. Those results reinforce each teams' current trends which favor the over. The over has hit in 4 out of Florida's last 5 games, and in 9 of their last 12 on the road. Those numbers contribute to an over under record of 41-27-6 on the Panthers' season including 20-13-4 on the road. The total has also gone over in 5 of Toronto's last 6 games, and is 7-2-1 in their last 10. This one has all the makings of a 3rd consecutive head to head over.
