Toronto at Los Angeles

The Toronto season can be defined over a 22 game stretch where they posted an eye-opening 15-7 run. The problem is this team on either side of the run has proven to be quite bad. They have since been 3-8 in their last 11 games, and this team is taking on water and is starting to have the look of a pretender, as opposed to a contender. The Maple Leafs have won just seven tmes in 20 tries on the road, and just two of their last eight. They have managed just 28 goals in their last 12 games on the road, and most recently have scored just two total goals in their last two roadies. Los Angeles has to make a stand here as they have uncharacteristically dropped three straight at home and have allowed 16 goals in the process. I think this team bows their back and makes a stand at home as they are much better on the defensive end than what they have shown in the first three games of this homestand. Toronto has not shown to be worthy on the road where this team has been just 16-36 in their last 52. The Kings have dominated against poor road teams, coming away with a 44-19 mark in their last 63 at home vs. a team with a road winnng percentage under .400. The Kings have also dominated these teams on the defensive end. And in their last 60 home games vs. a team that is below .400 on the road, they are 40-12-8 to the UNDER. Make the play on Los Angeles and the UNDER in this one.
