Toronto plays to their strength - a lot of skill position speed on offense. Toronto is #11 in the NHL in goals scored and #10 on the power play. They can skate with anyone with that attacking offense, coming off a loss a week ago to Ottawa but Toronto still held a 40-26 shot advantage over the Senators (17-6 in the third period). The OVER is 6-1 when the Maple Leafs play on three or more days of rest. They face a struggling New Jersey squad, #26 in goals scored, #20 in goals allowed and #22 in penalty killing. New Jersey is on an 8-19 run, including 4-9 in their last 13 home games. The Devils are having defensive trouble on a 3-0-1 run OVER the total, plus the team is 4-10 against the Eastern Conference. When these teams meet the Maple Leafs are 6-2 and the OVER is 10-4-2 in the last 16 meetings in New Jersey. Take Toronto the game total OVER.
