Avalanche vs Maple Leafs: Odds & Prediction

Colorado is a -122 favorite while Toronto is a +102 underdog, with the over/under set at 6.5 goals.

The Avalanche beat Toronto at home two weeks ago in a blowout, and Colorado should be able to win another game in Toronto. The Maple Leafs offense has gone cold as of late, outside their last game.

Stolarz, meanwhile, hasn't been playing as well as he was early in the year, as Colorado will be able to go into Toronto and score plenty on Stolarz to get a clear-cut win on the road.

Prediction: Avalanche 4, Maple Leafs 2.
