Toronto - Colorado: NHL match betting tip

Current form

Toronto is on the fourth line in the East and is fighting fiercely for first place in the Atlantic Division table. Craig Berube's team has 83 points after 67 matches, while they are only one point behind Florida, which is ahead, while the hosts have one meeting in reserve. John Tavares' squad is not playing too confidently during the spring and has suffered five defeats in seven previous starts. The Leafs started poorly at home, losing to Florida (2:3) and Ottawa (2:4), but in the last game they were stronger than Calgary (6:2).

The Maple Leafs are unable to establish a defensive game, although they concede only 2.74 goals on their court on average. In the last five games, the puck has been in the Canadiens' goal 19 times, while in only one of the six meetings, the red light outside the Maple Leafs goal did not turn on at least three times. Joseph Wall remains Toronto's main goalie, but he hasn't been very reliable lately. The American repelled 90.52% of attacks on his possessions in the current regular season.

Max Pacioretty and Yani Hakanpaa will not play against the Avalanche.

Current form

Colorado has been missing consistently throughout the season, but now the visitors are in great shape and they have managed to break out into fourth place in the conference. The Denver State team can't even count on the second place in the division yet, with 85 points after 68 matches. The Avalanche are far from the leader of the West, but they came close to Dallas, which scored two more points, but also played two fewer games. At the end of winter, Gabi Landeskug's squad made a great move and has not been without points for nine consecutive games. Before the start of the new guest tour, the Avalanches scored a crucial victory over the Stars in Denver (4-3, OT).

The visitors' offense continues to score in huge numbers, which often allows Colorado to win. In the last nine games alone, Denver scored 39 accurate shots, with the league's top scorer currently playing in the team. Nathan McKinnon recently broke the 1,000-point mark in his career and has 103 assists (27+76) in his piggy bank.

Disqualifications and injuries

Gabriel Landeskug, Josh Manson and Tucker Pullman will not come with the team to Canada.

Interesting betting trends

• Colorado throws only 29 times per game on average.
• Avalanches earn 6.49 minutes of penalty time per duel.
