St. Louis Blues vs Toronto Maple Leafs: Preview
St. Louis is coming off a 4-3 loss to Winnipeg at home on Tuesday as the Blues had its two-game winning streak snapped.
The Blues have been solid defensively, and in net, as Jordan Binnington is playing like his old self, which is good news for St. Louis' playoff hopes.
Toronto, meanwhile, is a Stanley Cup favorite but is coming off a blowout loss to Columbus in the second half of a back-to-back after a big win over Tampa Bay.
“I didn’t feel like we skated very well tonight,” Toronto coach Craig Berube said, via NHL.com. “They skated through us all night. We didn’t win many puck battles tonight, didn’t defend very well tonight and that’s what you get.
“It boils down to they outskated us. They outworked us and they were a harder team than we were. Bottom line.”
The Maple Leafs will start Anthony Stolarz who has been solid to begin his tenure.
Blues vs Maple Leafs: Odds & Prediction
St. Louis is a +180 underdog, while Toronto is a -220 favorite, while the over/under is set at 6.5 goals.
Berube was not happy with the Maple Leafs' effort against Columbus, so expect Toronto to come out aggressive and play hard here.
Stolarz has also been solid in net and should be able to limit St. Louis' offense as Toronto gets a big win here.
Prediction: Maple Leafs 4, Blues 1.
