The Leafs are coming into this game as a -155 favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Leafs have been playing great this season and are on a massive streak that no one should want to step in front of right now. The Ducks have been playing well but they hit a slump recently and just broke out of it with a win over the Sens which is not an impressive team to beat. The Leafs are the better team and they are playing like it as well. The best bet to place in this game is on the Leafs to win straight up on the moneyline.

“I think we want to stay even-keeled but at the same time we’re enjoying each other right now. We’re doing a good job of focusing in on our games and taking it one game at a time, one period at a time. But we are having a good time.” - Wayne Simmonds after their win against the Sharks on Friday night.

 

 

“We had a good stretch there where we’re playing well and getting results, and then went on the road and we didn’t play our best, and obviously we didn’t get the results we wanted either. So I think the focus coming home was to get back to what we were doing that made us successful. Worry about us and not the opponent, and I thought we did a pretty good job of that.” - Derek Grant after their win against the Senators on Friday night.
