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.
