• Leg 1: Panthers vs Maple Leafs Over 5.5

It had been six years since a Panthers vs Maple Leafs game had a total of 5.5 before the late-November clash that was won by the Panthers 5-1.

The sports betting odds total is at 5.5 once again even though Florida will be playing without suspended defenseman Aaron Ekblad with the banning of the former top pick making NHL news.

The last three games between the division rivals finished over the total with the winning team scoring at least five goals in each of those matchups. Each of the last three times that Toronto played at home against Atlantic Division teams, the game landed over the total.

• Leg 2: Panthers ML (-125)

Both teams are coming off disappointing efforts. Toronto topped Utah in a shootout despite squandering a three-goal lead. Florida looked to be on the way to its seventh win in a row with a 2-0 lead in the third period against a Boston team that traded away four of its key players, but lost 3-2.

The NHL futures odds have Florida tied for the shortest odds of winning the Stanley Cup. Florida has won its last six games following a loss and has outscored its opponent 27-9 in those matchups. That is enough to roll with Florida in the NHL picks.

• Leg 3: Aleksander Barkov Over 1.5 Points (+190)

Our top NHL player prop pick for the Panthers vs Maple Leafs game is Aleksander Barkov to go over 1.5 points.

Barkov had a goal and four assists in his previous three road games before being held without a goal and an assist against the Bruins.

He had a goal and an assist in the first meeting against Toronto this season and has five points in his last three games with Toronto. He is one of the reasons that Florida is a team to beat in the Stanley Cup odds.

Bet on Aleksander Barkov Over 1.5 Points

• Leg 4: Auston Matthews AnyTime Goal Scorer (+110)

Our best bet for Toronto is for Auston Matthews to light the lamp.

Auston Matthews has two goals over his last eight games. It wasn’t a result of a lack of opportunities as he has 34 shots on goals during that stretch.

Matthews is one of the best goal scorers in the NHL. However, eight of his last 11 points have come on assists.
