LiontipsToronto vs Anaheim. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 27, 2022).
Command Analysis
Toronto are occupying the 7th line of the Eastern Conference table. Lately, the Maple Leafs have been struggling to deliver consistent results: in the last three matches, they beat St. Louis (6:5), lost to the Rangers (3:6) and gained the upper hand over the Islanders (3:1). The Leafs are coming into this fixture after three days of rest.
Sheldon Keefe's men have been very successful at home this season: the Leafs won 14 out of 19 home games.
Anaheim are one of the leaders of the Western Conference - they sit in 6th place with a total of 48 points. Recently, the team suffered a dip in form and lost four games in a row, but they finally managed to bounce back. The Ducks crushed Tampa Bay (5:1) and prevailed over Boston (5:3). Dallas Eakins's charges once again proved that they can upset very powerful opponents.
This season, Anaheim have played 20 games away, and nine of them they lost in regulation time.
Trends
Anaheim scored more than four goals in their last two games.
In four out of five games of Toronto, more than one goal was scored in the first period.
Tip and bets

Our prediction - Asian handicap (+2) to Anaheim
Anaheim have been delivering high performance in their last games, and Toronto do not often show discipline on the defensive. We suggest betting on the individual total of the Ducks.
