Anaheim - Toronto: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Anaheim did not start the home series in the best way, having suffered a crushing defeat from the clear favorite in the person of Carolina. The team played on opposite courses and could have been successful if it hadn't been for a weak defensive game and low shooting accuracy, which together led to a loss of points (2:5). The goalkeeper did his best, but he deflected only 88% of the shots. But in the next match, the Ducks completely rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans, leaving no chance for Boston (6:2). The entire attacking line showed a great game, it's difficult to even single out any of the players, as many distinguished themselves with effective actions.

As expected, the team was able to consolidate its success in the duel with the Rangers. The defensive line didn't play reliably enough, which caused problems. It was going to be a loss in regular time, but just six minutes before the final whistle, they managed to score two goals and equalize the score, and then snatch Victoria in overtime (5:4). The most productive was striker Karlsson, who scored a goal and provided three assists. Indeed, the club has been in good shape lately, but the gap from the playoff zone is still too big and amounts to 15 points.

Disqualifications and injuries

Magin and Sushanek will definitely not be able to play in the upcoming match. Johnston and Trumpet also remain in question.

Current form

Recently, Toronto has been showing unstable results, alternating wins with losses. The team played away to Nashville, where they unexpectedly suffered a defeat with a score of 2:5. The defensive line showed its worst side, as well as goalkeeper Wall, who reflected only 87% of shots. But by returning to their home arena, the Maple Leafs left no chance for Philadelphia, gaining the upper hand with a five-goal difference (7:2). Nylander and Tavares played a great game, scoring four points each. It seemed that such a confident Victoria would help the club regain its former form, but in the next match with San Jose, they had to concede again (5:6B).

Continuing their away streak, the Leafs faced off against a rival of their level in the face of Los Angeles and finally played reliably defensively, preventing the Kings from realizing their attacking potential and winning a landslide victory (3:1). Once again, Tavares proved himself by scoring a double. Despite the lost points, the club continues to remain on the third line in the Eastern Conference table, with 92 points.
