Pro Picks
Toronto at Detroit
The timing of the three-day Christmas break was bad for Detroit. The Red Wings' momentum and three-game win streak was halted by the Hurricanes, 5-2, at Carolina last night. The Hurricanes snapped a season-worst three-game skid with that victory. Toronto also played Saturday and picked up its second straight win with a 7-5 upset against the Senators. The big news for the Maple Leafs in that win was Auston Matthews shook off a four-game pointless slump with a goal and two assists. Toronto is sixth in scoring even with Matthews' recent lack of offense. The Maple Leafs are likely to face Cam Talbot in net since John Gibson was in goal for Detroit last night. Talbot is struggling allowing 24 goals in his last four games. Take the Maple Leafs.

Pro Picks
Toronto at Detroit
Talented Toronto had 108 points last year, the second-best in the Eastern Conference. They got the new campaign off on a winning note in a 5-2 win over Montreal. Detroit was outscored by 21 goals last year due to its poor defense. They made moves to try to address that, bringing in goaltender John Gibson. However, he was awful in the opener, a 5-1 loss at home to Montreal, allowing five goals on just 13 shots. The Canadiens capitalized on Detroit's defensive breakdowns, a significant issue for the team last season. Play Toronto.
