Toronto Maple Leafs vs Dallas Stars Prediction and Betting Tips (15.01.2025)

Match announcement

Toronto Maple Leafs

Canada

Current form

Toronto remains one of the leaders of the Eastern Conference and currently occupies the second position in the standings, having 56 points. The team will definitely not be able to get to the leading place in the near future, since it is currently five points behind Washington. To do this, it needs to give an excellent winning streak, such as it was on recently. Let us recall that the leaves managed to win five victories in a row, after which they faced two defeats.

Earlier, they dealt with Philadelphia on their home ice (3:2 OT), then beat them away with a score of 3:2, but after that they lost to Carolina (3:6) and lost to Vancouver (0:3). For the first time since mid-November, Craig Berube team was left without a single goal scored, although they usually demonstrate a bright game in attack and score at least three or four goals. The leading scorer in the team remains Mitchell Marner, who managed to earn 59 points in the goal + pass system.

It should be emphasized that the club is most active in the second twenty minutes, in which it has a ratio of 56:39 in goals scored and goals conceded. The Leafs have also worked on their actions in the majority and have begun to use the numerical advantage better, but at the same time they are still in 19th place in the league in this indicator.

Disqualifications and injuries

Calle Jarnkrok, Anthony Stolarz, Jake McCabe, John Klingberg and Jani Hakanpaa are on the injured list.

Interesting trends for betting

  • Toronto gets 7.77 penalty minutes per game.

Typically leaves are removed at least four times per game.

  • Toronto averages 3.08 goals per game on home ice

With the support of their fans, the Leafs try to be as active as possible in the opponent zone and usually score at least three goals

Dallas Stars

USA

Current form

Dallas is one of the leaders of the Western Conference and currently occupies the fourth position in the standings. The team has been demonstrating great results for a long period of time and is on a long winning streak. We can say that it is still in good shape, even despite the defeat in the final meeting. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that the club is currently playing a rather difficult away series.

It should be noted that the Stars had already dealt with Utah at home (3:2 OT), after which they beat the Rangers (5:4 OT), Philadelphia (4:1) on the road, and also proved their superiority over Montreal in a tough fight with a score of 2:1 in a shootout. Peter DeBoer team was considered the favorite in the confrontation with Ottawa and even had a minimal advantage, but they played mediocrely in the second twenty minutes and the beginning of the third period, because of which they lost with a score of 2:3 and for the first time in a long time were left without points.

Overall, the club remains the best in the West at the moment in terms of defense and has the fewest goals conceded. As a rule, even away from home, the team rarely concedes more than twice. Dallas is most powerful in the second twenty minutes, in which it has a 47:36 ratio of goals scored and conceded, so it knows how and likes to play with the far benches. The Stars also play well in the minority and currently have 84.6% of the opponent power play neutralization, which is an excellent indicator by league standards.

Disqualifications and injuries

Seguin and Marchment will not be able to help their team in the upcoming match.

Interesting trends for betting

  • Dallas averages 6.57 penalty minutes per game.

The Sheriffs usually have no more than three red cards per game and have shown good discipline this season

  • Dallas statistically allows 26 shots on goal

The team does not allow the opponent to shoot many shots at their goal and manages to block many shots

Tip and bets

1.9Toronto handicap (0)

Toronto will probably pull itself together after two defeats in a row and will try to perform well in front of its home crowd. The Leafs are an inconvenient opponent for Dallas and have finished most of the previous matches in their favor, including in regulation time. Moreover, the Sheriffs have left a lot of energy in the current away series of matches and it is no coincidence that they stumbled in the confrontation with Ottawa. The Leafs have shown good results on home ice this season and even often finish matches with the leaders in their favor. We think that Berube team will achieve victory in the confrontation with the Sheriffs.

Prediction - Toronto win with handicap (0) for 1.90

1.72Dallas IT less than three goals

Bet on individual total

Toronto rarely lets in more than two goals when playing at home. Dallas has shown rather mediocre performance in previous matches and in most cases has been left with less than three goals scored. The Leafs have managed to get by with a minimum number of goals conceded in three out of five matches against the Sheriffs. In general, Berube team is playing much better in defense this season than last year, so it makes sense to bet on the individual total of the guests.

We take Dallas' individual total under three goals for 1.72

Total Bet

Previous meetings with the guests were not particularly productive. They, first of all, watch their game in defense and in matches with many opponents demonstrate a decent game in their own zone. The previous three matches out of five between the teams also took place with a total of less. By the way, Toronto also played the last matches with less than six goals scored. Based on this, we expect to see few goals in this confrontation.

We bet on total under 5.5 goals for 2.15
