Maple Leafs vs Blues Prediction

For those seeking a straight moneyline bet, the Maple Leafs are the top choice. Nonetheless, with a payout of -185, you might want to use this bet as a part of a parlay to get better odds.

If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Blues to cover. Even if the Maple Leafs manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Blues should cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
