Toronto Maple Leafs vs Vegas Golden Knights

Toronto plays its fifth road game in six contests. They come off a 3-2 home loss to San Jose as a -310 favorite. They're in a stretch playing one home game in 18 days. Meanwhile, Vegas has won five of six. They play their third straight at home, where they're 22-6-3. The offense is sixth in goals scored (3.30 per game) and third on the power play, with a defense that is eighth in goals given up (2.73 per game) and third in shots on goal allowed. Play Vegas. 

Vegas has won three of four road games after losing its first four road contests at the beginning of the season. The Golden Knights had their two-game win streak snapped in a 5-2 loss to Washington on Sunday, but they have still won eight of 12 overall. Ilya Samsonov took the loss against the Capitals, but Adin Hill is expected back in net for the Knights, who have won his past two starts as he stopped 52 of 56 shots. Vegas has won four straight after allowing at least five goals its previous game, and Toronto is 1-5 against a team that scored two or fewer goals its previous game. The Maple Leafs still are playing without Auston Matthews, who is on injured reserve. Take the Golden Knights.

Vegas already had been inconsistent in recent games while splitting their past 10 and now they will be without captain Mark Stone, who is week-to-week with an upper-body injury. The Golden Knights have lost three of their past four games, including 5-3 to Nashville after falling behind 4-1 on Tuesday. Adin Hill allowed four goals and he is the expected starter in this game. Toronto has won five in a row and the Maple Leafs come off road wins against St. Louis and Arizona. Auston Matthews and William Nylander each scored twice against the Coyotes and Ilya Samsoniv had 23 saves. Martin Jones is probable tonight in this back-to-back spot and he is 10-7-1 with a 2.69 goals-against average. Toronto has won six straight against teams with winning records and Vegas has lost four of five versus the Atlantic Division. Take the Maple Leafs.
