Toronto at Vancouver

Toronto's offense has been sputtering, scoring 9 goals in the last five games (four losses). They are not a team that clicks on offense with extra rest as the UNDER is 4-1 in the Maple Leafs’ last five games playing on two day’s rest. This team is on the playoffs bubble, sitting with the No. 8 seed, and they face a Vancouver team that beat opponents in so many ways. Vancouver has been sharpening its defense at home, as the Canucks are 4-1 UNDER the total their last five home games. This is a team that focuses on defense when playing at home against weak road teams at 18-6-2 UNDER the total in the Canucks’ last 26 home games against a team with a losing road record. In addition, the UNDER is 19-7-2 in the last 28 games as a home favorite of -151 to -200. Look for more defense than the oddsmakers expect, so play the UNDER.
