Losers of seven in a row, the Maple Leafs aren't making the playoffs barring a miracle. Toronto averages two goals a game during its losing streak, and star C Auston Matthews hasn't scored a goal in 11 straight games. Perhaps the Maple Leafs will get up for this game against Montreal, their long-time Canadian rival. Toronto has been good in one area this season - killing penalties, ranking fourth in the league in that category. Montreal relies on its seventh-ranked power play to produce goals. Montreal has been involved in some high-scoring games lately, but the last time it played Toronto, it was a low-scoring game, with the Canadiens winning 2-1 in a shootout on Dec. 6 in Toronto. The Maple Leafs haven't scored more than two goals in regulation during eight of their last 11 games. Take the UNDER.
