Game Totals Pick
Over 6.5(-115)

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be hosting the Montreal Canadiens in what is a rematch of 2 weeks ago. The Canadiens dominated the Leafs on home ice 5-2. The Leafs seem to have righted the ship slightly, as they come into this game riding a 3-game winning streak and a 5-3-2 record in their last 10 games. This contest features 2 of the higher-scoring offenses in the NHL. The Leafs are ranked third in the league, averaging 3.48 goals per game; the Canadiens are seventh, averaging 3.31 goals per game.

On the flip side of that, they are both poor defensively. The Maple Leafs average 3.37 goals against per game, and the Canadiens average 3.54 per game, which is second-worst in the NHL. The Leafs will be without either of their top 2 netminders, as they will have Dennis Hildeby starting in goal. Look for him to let in a few goals. In the previous meeting between these teams, there was 7 goals scored. I think we are going to see another game full of offense on Saturday night between these 2 long-time rivals. Give me the over in this one.

Canadiens vs Maple Leafs prediction: Over 6.5 (-115) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
