Tip and bets
Toronto is not considered an offensive team, so we are not expecting a high-scoring game against New York. In each of three latest head-to-head fixtures opponents failed to score more than 220 points. We are expecting the same result today.
Our prediction - total under 224,5 points
Toronto secured a victory in the most recent head-to-head encounter. But New Yorkers were just unlucky in that match, so we are expecting a victory from the visitors this time. Nick Nurse's men failed to impress in recent games.
Our second bet is on New York to win (Including OT)
