Toronto Maple Leafs vs San Jose Sharks Prediction and Betting Tips (23.10.2021)

Command Analysis

Toronto Maple Leafs

Canada

The Toronto Maple Leafs are inconsistent in their performance. Forward Auston Matthews has recently returned to the ranks but is yet to pick optimal form. The Leafs looked good against Montreal (2:1) and Ottawa (3:1), but lost to the Senators in the return game (2:3) and then yielded to the Rangers in overtime (1:2).

We got used to seeing Toronto score a large number of goals, but this is just not happening in the new season. Keefe's charges struggle to convert their attacking chances. For instance, in the game against the Rangers, the Leafs made 41 shots at the oponents' goal, but scored only once.

San Jose Sharks

USA

The San Jose Sharks, on the contrary, had a great start to the new season. The team won all three matches and earned the maximum number of points. The Sharks beat Winnipeg at home (4:3), and recorded away victories over Montreal (5:0) and Ottawa (2:1).

Bob Boughner's charges dominated the game against Montreal, but in the game against Ottawa, the Sharks had to sit back on the defensive and keep their minimal score advantage.
