LiontipsToronto vs Detroit. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 8, 2023).
Command Analysis
Toronto are in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference table. The Maple Leafs have been inconsistent recently, but we expect them to mount a winning streak in no time. In the last two home games, Sheldon Keefe's men lost to St Louis (5:6 SO) and Seattle (1:5). Usually, Toronto play on collision courses and score a lot - and they haven't yet lost three games in a row this season. We predict a successful performance of the Leafs in this fixture.
Detroit are 12th in the East. Many of their key players are still out injured, and because of that the Red Wings can't get a winning streak. In the last two games, Lalonde's charges lost to New Jersey (1:5) and Florida (2:3). In both cases, they struggled to create and convert scoring chances. In total, Detroit won only five away games in regulation.
