Chicago at Toronto

The Toronto Maple Leafs host the Chicago Blackhawks, riding a two-game winning streak where they won the games by a combined 8-1 score. That has held the line down for this one as Chicago is once again out of the gate strong at 6-3-1, and got their road trip off to a good start with a win in Ottawa. The Air Canada Center has not been too friendly to the hosts this season as Toronto is just 2-4, and have played much better on the road. Toronto did not finish well last season, and over their last 24 games stand at just 7-17. Chicago has been destroying teams off a good defensive stand in their previous game as the Blackhawks have a 62-24 record in their last 86 when squaring off against a team that allowed 2 or fewer in their previous contest. Chicago has dominated this series at 8-1 in the last nine meetings, including 4-1 in Canada. Take Chicago.
