Money Line Pick
TOR Maple Leafs Win(-130)

Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins take on Auston Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs to kick off a busy Tuesday in the NHL. This is the final meeting of the season, as the Maple Leafs look for the sweep. To get you ready for this NHL action, here is our Penguins vs. Maple Leafs prediction.

Toronto has taken care of business against Pittsburgh this season, and I see them doing  it again. Home comfort obviously will help, but urgency is at an all-time high with how poor they’ve played. Putting a good effort forward is crucial in front of a home crowd that is fed up. After firing assistant coach Marc Savard who was in charge of an abysmal power play, I do believe this will generate a spark in the team. While Pittsburgh finally ended a 0-4-4 run, the team overall is still reeling in the seventh position in the Metropolitan Division. They are still without veteran forward Evgeni Malkin, and without serviceable players Caleb Jones and Blake Lizotte. I believe Toronto will end its 3-game losing streak, so for this Penguins vs Maple Leafs prediction, I’m taking the Leafs on the money line.
