Vancouver vs Toronto. Predictions & Betting Tips for NHL

Command Analysis

Vancouver had been in optimal shape for a long time, which had allowed the team to consistently earn points. In eight games, Canucks had failed only against Montreal (1:5). But the team broke their four-game winning streak when they lost again to Canadiens (4:5 B). If not for the mistakes in the opponent's defense, the Nux would have been crushed.
At their home arena, Canucks held two games against Winnipeg. In the first one, Vancouver could not even score, losing 0:4. Goaltender Demko had a weak game, blocking only 86% of the shots. In the second match, Canucks lost points again (1:5).

Toronto, like their opponents, had been crushing their rivals for a long time, which had allowed them to build a streak of six victories. The team only had difficulty against Winnipeg, but still managed to get the upper hand after a shootout (2:1). Only Montreal (4:2) could stop the victorious run of Maple Leafs. The goalkeeper Campbell was not quite solid, blocking only 87% of the shots.
Later Leafs had two home games, and they lost both: defeated by Calgary (2:3 OT) and crushed by Winnipeg (2:5). Once again, Campbell was unreliable, which lead to him being subbed in the first period after another goal.

Tip and bets
Since both teams are in peak form, it is too reckless to blindly bet on the victory of the favorite. Canucks sometimes steal points in head-to-head matches against Toronto, so why not bet on Vancouver to win?
Our prediction isVancouver to win with a handicap (2) at 1.64.
In head-to-head matches, the teams have been showing good results, but it wasn't always possible for them to score more than six goals in a game. In just one match out of 12, the clubs have struck a total of over 6.5 goals.
So our second wager is on total under 6.5 goals at 1.75.
