Toronto - San Jose: betting tip (cf. 1.68) and bets on the NHL match

Top bets from an expert

Command Analysis

Until recently, Toronto's offense looked almost flawless. Jim Hiller's team defeated Colorado 6-3, with William Nylander scoring five points and Auston Matthews scoring four. However, after that, the Canadians suffered three defeats in a row. First, they lost to Utah (4:5), then they lost the advantage 4:2 in the confrontation with Buffalo and lost in overtime with the same score. Even Kirill Marchenko's hat-trick did not help to achieve the result.
But the last meeting with the Islanders turned out to be much less productive. Toronto lost 1-4, managing to score only thanks to Colton Sisson. Ilya Sorokin made 28 saves and practically did not allow the hosts to return to the game. Moreover, the situation is complicated by personnel problems. John Tavares is out due to a lower body injury, and defenseman Chris Tanev is also recovering from injury. Without them, it will be even more difficult for the coaching staff to correct mistakes in the defense, which has been conceding at least three goals for seven consecutive meetings.

Three goals against Detroit did not bring San Jose victory, although Ryan Warsofsky's team was ahead during the third period. McClean Celebrini performed particularly well, scoring three points. Dmitry Orlov and Ivar Stenberg also scored, who completed the majority. However, Alex Debrinkat restored equality a minute and a half before the siren, and then the Red Wings turned out to be stronger in the shootout (4:3).
This is the Sharks' third loss in the last four matches. Earlier, the team lost to Edmonton (1:3) and Boston (3:6), and won the only victory in Nashville by shootout (3:2). Then Celebrini made the decisive attempt, and Alex Nedelkovich blocked 32 shots. In general, it's still hard without the bright game of the San Jose leaders. At the same time, goalkeepers regularly encounter a large number of dangerous moments, and defenders do not always have time to correct their own mistakes.
Tip and bets
Toronto's defensive problems can hardly be called an accident. The Canadians have conceded at least three goals in seven consecutive games, and they often lose the advantage even after a successful start. Tanev's absence further complicates the situation, and now we have to cope without Tavares. San Jose is also far from smooth with the organization of the game, but Celebrini and the other leaders are able to take advantage of the free space. Especially if the owners often start making mistakes again when leaving their own zone.
At the same time, the Maple Leafs' offense is unlikely to continue to perform as weakly as it did against the Islanders. Matthews, Nylander and Marchenko keep their level high enough to create chances on a regular basis. Sharks are also not particularly reliable, so the prerequisites for an effective meeting here are quite obvious. We expect active hockey with a lot of dangerous episodes at both gates.
Our betting tip is a total of more than six goals in 1.68
