Auston Matthews is back with Toronto after missing nine games, and he wasted no time contributing as he had two assists in the Maple Leafs' 5-3 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday. The Leafs had won seven of nine without him and are one point behind first-place Florida in the Atlantic Division. Toronto has won seven of eight home games, and Chicago is 8-46 in its past 54 road games against teams with .600 home winning percentages. The Blackhawks have lost 42 of 51 road games overall. Toronto has won 16 of 20 against Western Conference opponents. Chicago has lost six of its past eight games, including 6-3 to Columbus on Sunday, and now has to play a back-to-back. Arvid Soderblom is expected to start for the Blackhawks, who have lost his past three appearances, although he has gotten little help from his teammates on the offensive side. Take the Maple Leafs.

Toronto at Chicago
6:07 PM Eastern
Chicago broke a three-game skid with 4-3 overtime win over Ottawa on Friday night and Andreas Athanasiou scored the winning goal as the Blackhawks fought back from a two-goal deficit. Petr Mrazek had 28 saves and is likely in net tonight against the Maple Leafs, who played on Saturday with Joseph Woll between the pipes. Toronto might have to turn to Erik Kallgren, who was recalled from the minors as Ilya Samsonov is questionable with an illness. The first meeting this season went OVER when Toronto won 5-2 on Wednesday so this is a quick revenge spot for Chicago. The Maple Leafs are 38-18-3 OVER their past 59 road games and six of the past seven meetings have soared OVER. Also, Toronto has lost eight of 11 at Chicago and they are 7-3 OVER their past 10 versus Western Conference teams. Take the Hawks as a Max Play, and take this one to go OVER the total.
