NHL odds, picks, and predictions for the Toronto Maple Leafs at Tampa Bay Lightning on October 21. NHL betting best bet and free pick analysis.
The Toronto Maple Leafs offense has dried up over the last two games, but the Tampa Bay Lightning offer an opportunity to get back on track. With no Vasilevskiy in net, our NHL picks expect the Buds to light the lamp Saturday night.It’s time to restore the rivalry, folks! The Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs meet for the first time this season since Toronto sent Tampa packing in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Toronto averages 3.5 goals per game over the last 20 regular and postseason meetings combined vs. Tampa, and that’s with Andrei Vasilevskiy in net. Enter— who’s got a .894 SV% and a GAA north of 3.5 — and you’ll see that the Leafs have a clear advantage tonight with an opportunity for their offense to have a bounce-back performance.
Tampa can’t even blame subpar goaltending for that either, considering its expected goals against total matches that ranking . That’s poor defense coupled with bad goaltending... not a good combination. Additionally, the Leafs have gone Over the team total of 3.5 goals in three of their last four trips to Amalie Arena, with five players averaging a point or more in those contests. So home-ice advantage hasn’t played a role between these two teams. In fact, the road side has won four straight.These two teams do tend to bring the best out of one another, which is why the books see this as a high-scoring game. I just think the Leafs are more equipped to score and score often.
