Toronto at New Jersey

Toronto is 3-0 against New Jersey so far this season yet they are +174 underdogs here. Hmmm. The reason is Toronto's recent play. In their last five games they have given up 3.6 goals per game and scored just 1.8. But, their defense has been that bad all season. It's really their offense that has fallen. Yet, they are 2-3 in that stretch and they've lost 5 of 7. And, the Devils' offense has also taken a big dive of late (they are averaging 2.4 goals per game in their last five). They are also 2-3 over that span. So, both teams are struggling. Toronto simply matches up well against NJ and given their recent success, this high a line is a gift especially on a team that needs to win to keep playoff hopes alive.
