NHL Odds: PK and the Predators Play Host to the Maple Leafs

With less than 10 games remaining in the regular season, both the Nashville Predators and Toronto Maple Leafs sit comfortably in playoff positions. The Preds were the first team in the NHL to secure a playoff spot, but if Toronto hopes to establish itself as a Stanley Cup contender, they’ll need to find a way to beat the best team in the NHL.

The Nashville Predators (48-14-10) lead the NHL in points and have run away with the Western Conference’s Central Division. They’ve won 12 of their last 13 games and seem to be peaking at the right time heading into the playoffs. Led by PK Subban on the backend, the Predators present a wicked combination of defensive prowess (first in the league in goals against) and offensive punch (seventh in the league in goals for). They’ll look to extend that streak this Thursday at home.

The Toronto Maple Leafs (43-23-7) have been struggling to get healthy in recent weeks. Their star Auston Matthews has been sidelined for 10 games due to a shoulder injury. During that span, the Leafs posted a 5-3-2 record. A potential return of Matthews could significantly shift the dynamics of this matchup.

NHL Odds: Toronto Heads to Music City to Take on the Preds

Pekka Rinne and the Predators are already in playoff mode, having lost just once in their last 13 outings. The banged-up Leafs continue their southern road trip against the top defensive team in the league. Toronto's offense, ranked fifth overall, will need to bring its A-game against Rinne and company. Puck drop is set for 8 PM ET.
