Panthers vs Maple Leafs Prediction, Picks and NHL Prop Bets Mar 13th: Back Florida As Road Favorite

The last five games between the Panthers and the Maple Leafs have been won by the home team with four of those victories by at least two goals. Is that NHL trend going to continue with the division rivals meeting for the second time this season?

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 playoff odds, Florida (+600) is tied with the Dallas Stars as the Stanley Cup title favorites. Toronto is tied for seventh at +1200 in the NHL championship odds.

Panthers vs Maple Leafs Prediction

While Toronto is one of six Eastern Conference teams with at least 20 home wins, the Maple Leafs are only 5-4-1 at Scotiabank Arena since the start of January. Florida is just 6-6 on the road during the same stretch. One of these teams will make NHL news today with a win.

We’re not sure how the Panthers let a two-goal lead in the third period evaporate against a Boston Bruins team that recently traded away many of their veteran players. Look for the Panthers, who are eyeing another NHL championship, to bounce back in this one: Panthers 4, Maple Leafs 2
