Both of these teams are in need of a win. Toronto has lost six of their last seven while Tampa Bay has dropped seven of their last eight. Tampa has been inept on the road all season and right now, they can't score, having managed no more than 2 goals in any of their last seven games. To go with that, they have the second worst defense in the league allowing 4.1 goals per game. It's no wonder they are 15-24 and 3-14 on the road. Toronto averages 3.2 goals per game at home so they have a distinct advantage here, despite their recent struggles. Home favorites off 3 straight losses have won 75% of the time the last five seasons. Toronto should get the win here.
