Point Spread: 1.50 | -115.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Win
As bad as the Maple Leafs are, they have been competitive in their last five games winning once and losing three other times by just one goal. The Maple Leafs draw the Capitals in a prime ambush spot.
Washington just edged Pittsburgh at home last night coming from two goals down to win, 3-2. The Capitals are in coast mode, but do have bigger games on deck against the Rangers on Friday and Bruins on Saturday. This marks their fourth game in six days - and a definite flat spot.
The Maple Leafs picked up a pair of former Washington players, Brooks Laich and Connor Carrick, this past Sunday. Those two should play hard against their ex-teammates. As a team, Toronto shouldn't lack incentive in a double revenge spot. The Maple Leafs played the Capitals tough in their earlier two meetings losing by two goals and by one goal in a shootout.
