Toronto Maple Leafs avoid elimination with 2-1 win in Game 4
There still hasn’t been a sweep in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and the Maple Leafs made sure they wouldn’t be the first team to lose four games in a row with their 2-1 win in Game 4. The Panthers played Toronto tough, though, and it’s not going to be easy to beat Florida three times in a row. Joseph Woll played great, stopping almost two goals above expected according to stats website Evolving Hockey, but Sergei Bobrovsky was good again and the games are getting tighter.
DraftKings currently has Florida listed at +155 on the moneyline heading into Game 4. That’s a +EV bet, according to my model, which sees the Panthers as a +138 underdog, but given how the line has moved toward the Maple Leafs in three out of four games so far, waiting for longer odds might be the best course of action if you’re like me and you want to bet the Panthers to win Game 5 in Toronto.
