Toronto at St. Louis

Toronto has a winning record both home and away with a deadly offense behind Auston Matthews, second in the NHL in goals scored (3.8 per game), sixth on the power play. The Maple Leafs are a good bounce-back team, 7-3 after allowing five goals or more the previous game. They are also well coached, with Coach Mike Babcock 85-62 on the road after a non-conference game.  St. Louis comes off a 2-0 home loss to Philadelphia as a -180 favorite. St. Louis had 33 shots on net, 20 shots blocked by the Flyers and 15 more which missed the net. Despite being in first place, the St. Louis offense is just #14 in goals scored, #22 on the power play and defensively they are #25 in penalty killing. Play Toronto.
