LiontipsVancouver vs Toronto. Predictions and Betting Tips for NHL
Command Analysis
Vancouver had a fairly successful four-game away streak, defeating Ottawa twice and also exchanging victories with Montreal. Returning to their home arena, the Canucks could not keep up the good work and got crushed by Winnipeg (1:5 and 0:4). Goaltender Demko was very far from the most reliable, stopping only 56 shots out of 64.
The Canucks managed to break their three-game string of losses by defeating Toronto in overtime (3:2 OT). This time the goal was defended by Holtby, who performed much better than his teammate.
After Toronto broke their six-game winning streak with a loss to Montreal (2-4), the team began to crumble. The Maple Leafs were defeated at home by Calgary (2-3 OT) and Winnipeg (2-5). Goalkeeper Campbell was simply awful and had to be replaced in the first period after another blunder.
Then Leafs had to play away, where the team suffered another defeat from Vancouver (2:3 OT). They had plenty of chances, but were just unlucky and couldn't use them. However, despite the lost points, Toronto continues to be the leader in the Northern Division.

Tip and bets
Oddly enough, even after the victory of Vancouver in the previous match, bookmakers continue to give very small odds for the victory of Toronto. While the Maple Leafs are on a decline, the Canucks have every chance to fight back against the leader of the Northern Division.
Our prediction is Vancouver to win with a handicap (2)
In head-to-head matches, the teams do not always delight their fans with a high score. In five meetings, they failed to score more than six goals. So there is a great opportunity to bet on total under.
Second wager - total under 6.5 goals
