Don't hold your breath waiting for either the Maple Leafs or Devils to make the playoffs. These have been two of the most disappointing teams in the NHL this season. New Jersey is 11 points out of the final wild-card spot, while Toronto is 12 points out of third in the Atlantic Division, and nine points from a wild-card spot. Obviously, neither team can afford to lose this game, so expect a tight defensive matchup. The Devils are averaging a meager 1.7 goals a game in regulation during their past eight games. They haven't exceeded more than one goal in five games during this span. Toronto is fourth best in killing penalties. But the Maple Leafs have their own offensive woes. They are averaging only 1.7 goals per game during their last four games. Center
and star player Auston Matthews hasn’t scored in his last eight games, which has really hurt Toronto. Take the UNDER.
