Avalanche vs Maple Leafs NHL Prediction, Picks and Prop Bets: Back Colorado As Road Favorite (-115) March 19

One of the best NHL games on Wednesday could come in Toronto when a Maple Leafs team in contention for the Atlantic Division title faces a Colorado Avalanche squad that is 8-1-1 over the last 10 games and is rising in the Stanley Cup odds.

Despite some key players on the NHL injury list, there are some tempting NHL player prop bets to make on both teams.

When looking at the NHL futures odds, Colorado (+800) is tied for third in the Stanley Cup title odds. Toronto is tied for seventh at +1200 in the championship odds.

Avalanche vs Maple Leafs Prediction

The teams met less than two weeks ago and that is not enough time for the Toronto players to erase the memory of watching the Avalanche score the final five goals in a 7-4 victory in Denver. It was the third straight time that a Colorado-Toronto game landed over the NHL betting lines total.

This doesn’t feel like one of those NHL matchups that will be 1-1 going into the third period. Score prediction: Avalanche 4, Maple Leafs 3.

The veteran winger has points in each of his last nine games. It was good news and bad news for Nylander the last time he hit the ice against Colorado. He had two assists but still finished -3 in the game. He could make NHL news again on Wednesday.

Avalanche vs Maple Leafs Moneyline Pick

Colorado has only won two of its last 11 games when listed by the BetUS sportsbook as the road favorite. Will that change when facing a Toronto team that is 2-4-1 outright in its last seven games?

Colorado is closing in on being the third Western Conference team to win 20 road games and a victory on Wednesday gets the Avalanche one step closer.

Avalanche vs Maple Leafs Spread Pick

Toronto has been playing in plenty of one-goal games recently. It looked like that was the way things would play out in the March 8 showdown with Colorado with Toronto leading by a goal going into the third period before a late-game meltdown.

Three of Toronto’s six games this season as the home underdog were decided by one goal. When making expert NHL picks, take Toronto to hang around and cover as one of the Avalanche vs Maple Leafs best bets.

Bet Maple Leafs ATS +1.5 (-235)
