Toronto is happy to slow the pace down and focus on defense, off a 5-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings as a dog. Toronto is #25 in the NHL in goals scored and #18 on the power play. The UNDER is 25-10-3 when the Maple Leafs are on the road. And speaking of defense, Colorado has won five straight allowing 2, 1, 0, 1, and 1 goal, part of an 8-2 run UNDER the total. Goalie Semyon Varlamov has played a large part in that success, yielding six goals in winning six consecutive starts. He's allowed two or fewer goals in each game of a 7-1-0 stretch, making 39 saves in Saturday's 5-1 home win of Edmonton. Colorado is also 18-7-3 UNDER the total when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game. Play the UNDER in this one.
