LiontipsToronto vs Montreal. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 28, 20210).
Command Analysis
Toronto are having a great season and must make their way to at least the second round of the playoffs. In the first game, the Leafs were ill-prepared and got beaten by Montreal with a score of 1:2. But in the following games Toronto's class advantage became obvious as they started to win one game after another.
Sheldon Keefe's men won at home with a score of 5:1, and away they beat the opponent twice - 2:1 and 4:0. In recent games, Toronto practically do not allow the opponent to score and act with perfect discipline in defense, making almost no mistakes.
Even before the start of this series, Montreal were considered an outsider. Indeed, the Canadiens haven't had the most outstanding season, and they struggled with consistency throughout the year. As we can see, Dominique Ducharme's team lacks accuracy when it comes to using their scoring chances.
Montreal takes a lot of shots, but it is very difficult for them to turn them into goals. In the previous game, the team had four opportunities to score during power play, but they failed to use them. Chances are that the upcoming game will be the last for Toronto in this year's Stanley Cup.
