Columbus Blue Jackets vs Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction, Odds and Picks for Thursday, 11/20/25

The Columbus Blue Jackets and Toronto Maple Leafs meet at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday night. The Blue Jackets won the first meeting of the season in Ohio’s capital city on Oct. 29, doubling up the Maple Leafs 6-3 as slight favorites (-120) as the Over (6.5) cashed. The Blue Jackets have won four of the past five in the series, including three wins as an underdog. The Jackets won 5-1 last season on Jan. 22, 2025, and Columbus has a winning record in the past five trips to Toronto, winning three of the past five installments.

The Maple Leafs picked up a 3-2 win in overtime against the St. Louis Blues as a slight underdog at home behind Joseph Woll as the Under (6) cashed, bouncing back from a 3-2 OT loss in Chicago. Despite the win, Toronto is still 1-4-1 in the past six games. The Under has cashed in each of the past two games after a 13-game Over run, so it appears that total streak is over for the Maple Leafs. Instead, we’re going to focus on the side here, and the Blue Jackets have been a thorn in the side of the Leafs for the past couple of seasons. Let’s roll with Columbus as slight favorites to get the job done.

Blue Jackets ML (-115) at time of publishing. Playable to -120.
