Toronto Maple Leafs win and over 5.5 (+130)
The Red Wings dropped a heck of a game to the Senators on Thursday to kick off this Sweden series. Players have indicated there is a real jet lag factor. The Red Wings are playing their second game in as many days on less rest from more recent travel. The Maple Leafs come into this game in better form and should be better rested.
The over has been rolling for both of these teams lately. The total has gone over in 4 out of Detroit's last 5 games and in Toronto's last 5 straight. Both teams have shown strong goal scoring but also weak goal prevention which has led to consistent high totals. Look for the over to supplement a Maple Leafs win.
