Chicago broke a three-game skid with 4-3 overtime win over Ottawa on Friday night and Andreas Athanasiou scored the winning goal as the Blackhawks fought back from a two-goal deficit. Petr Mrazek had 28 saves and is likely in net tonight against the Maple Leafs, who played on Saturday with Joseph Woll between the pipes. Toronto might have to turn to Erik Kallgren, who was recalled from the minors as Ilya Samsonov is questionable with an illness. The first meeting this season went OVER when Toronto won 5-2 on Wednesday so this is a quick revenge spot for Chicago. The Maple Leafs are 38-18-3 OVER their past 59 road games and six of the past seven meetings have soared OVER. Also, Toronto has lost eight of 11 at Chicago and they are 7-3 OVER their past 10 versus Western Conference teams. Take the Hawks as a Max Play, and take this one to go OVER the total.
