Toronto Maple Leafs vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/12/26

The Toronto Maple Leafs kick off a 4-game road trip through the Mountain West with a battle against the high-flying Colorado Avalanche on Monday in Denver. It’s the front-end of a back-to-back, as Toronto plays Tuesday night in Utah, too. The Leafs have started to button things up a bit, looking more like the team which won the Atlantic Division title last season, rather than a cellar-dweller it has been at times this season. Toronto has picked up points in nine straight games, going 7-0-2, moving to within seven points of first place in the ultra-competitive Atlantic. Joseph Woll has been hot in net, posting a 5-0 shutout win over the Vancouver Canucks last time out, and he has shutouts in 2 of his past 4 outings.

The Avs know a little bit about shutouts, too. Colorado blanked Columbus 4-0 behind third-string Trent Miner, as he subbed in for the injured Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body), giving Scott Wedgewood a breather. After its first back-to-back losses of the season, setbacks at Florida and Tampa Bay, Colorado returned to home ice to boat-race the Ottawa Senators 8-2, and the Jackets. The Avs are 19-0-2 in 21 games at Ball Arena this season. Colorado has won 4 in a row by at least 3 goals, so back it to get the job done on the puck line again.

Maples Leafs vs Avalanche prediction: Avalanche -1.5 (+105) at time of publishing. Playable to -110.
