Columbus Blue Jackets vs Toronto Maple Leafs Predictions, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 10/29/25

After a jammed-packed Wednesday night, we have one game on the schedule today: The Toronto Maple Leafs against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Maple Leafs are a very fun team to watch; they score a lot of goals and give up even more. That’s not a great way to win hockey games, but it makes it fun for the fans. The Leafs have yet to win a game on the road, but does that change tonight?

The Blue Jackets last season were one of the best teams on home ice, but that success has not followed them into this season. They are 1-3-0 on home ice, but they have won 4 of their last 5 games and are averaging close to 34 shots a night. One of their downsides is their penalty kill, operating at just 63%. They aren’t an undisciplined hockey team, but if they give Toronto too many opportunities, it will come back to bite them. The clear edge in this matchup is in goal. Elvis Merzlikins has been very good this season, and he should be able to outduel Cayden Primeau, who is likely to start for the Maple Leafs. We’ll take Columbus to come away with the win.
