The Toronto Maple Leafs have opened the season with four wins in their first six games, and what stands out is they are already +7 in goal differential, which is good for second best in the Eastern Conference. The Blue Jackets have started 2-3 through five games, allowing at least three goals in each contest. That presents a tall order in this contest as the Maple Leafs have defended extremely well in the early going. Toronto has allowed just 13 goals through six games, or just over 2.0 per contest, while they have scored four-plus goals four times already. Talent-wise, there's is a lot of distance between these teams. Go with Toronto.
