Toronto is sixth in the NHL in goals scored and second on the power play. They are also playing defense, coming off a 4-0 win over Calgary as part of a 10-4 run. The Maple Leafs are on an 8-0-2 run away from home, plus 7-3 UNDER the total against a team with a losing record. Goalie Frederik Andersen is 6-0-1 with a 1.98 goals-against average and .943 save percentage in his last seven road games. They face a Detroit team that prefers a slower tempo, #24 in goals scored and last on the power play. The Red Wings are coming off their third consecutive overtime loss in a 4-3 setback in Boston on Tuesday. They faced the Bruins without Thomas Vanek (lower body) and Dylan Larkin (upper body), with the latter being placed on seven-day injured reserve. Detroit is 4-12 when playing on no days of rest and on a 6-14 run at home. With the UNDER 9-1 when these rivals clash, back the healthier visitors in a defensive duel. Play Toronto and the UNDER.
