Toronto Maple Leafs vs Detroit Red Wings Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Detroit Red Wings
The Maple Leafs are trending in the wrong direction and have suffered a third defeat in their last four contests, falling 6-3 to the Minnesota Wild on Monday.
Furthermore, that loss marked the fifth straight encounter in which Toronto failed to win in regulation, as their two wins over their last five outings have come in overtime. Even though they’re playing at home in this one, that can’t be a good omen.
That’s especially true considering that the Maple Leafs will host one of the hottest teams in the NHL, the Red Wings, who enter this matchup on a two-game winning run following their 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators.

Detroit have also won four of their last five and seven of their last 10 outings (W7, L2, OT1), meaning they’re performing at a high level regardless of the opponent.
As if their recent record wasn’t enough, the Red Wings are also one win away from sweeping the regular-season series against the Maple Leafs.
Each of those games has seen five or more total goals, so they’ve been quite entertaining for neutral fans, but Detroit will aim to keep their dominant stretch with another win here.
They haven’t won three in a row in Toronto since a stretch spanning the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Detroit Red Wings Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Alex DeBrincat over 0.5 points
If the Red Wings are going to secure a win in this matchup, it wouldn’t be surprising if DeBrincat plays a big role on offence. The star winger has been one of the hottest players in the league of late and has racked up four goals, as well as nine total points, over his last five appearances.
That scoring burst has moved DeBrincat to second place in points on the Red Wings roster this season with 52 (26 goals, 26 assists).
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Detroit Red Wings Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 4.5 goals + Auston Matthews over 0.5 goals + Alex DeBrincat over 0.5 goals
Our three-leg parlay shows that, regardless of who secures the victory, this is likely to be a high-scoring affair. The three previous regular-season meetings have produced five or more total goals, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see that happening again.
After all, the Maple Leafs are averaging 4.4 goals scored per home game, while the Red Wings have netted 2.6 per encounter in their last five on the road.
Goalscoring numbers aside, this also looks like a prolific matchup for two of the hottest forwards to find a way to crack the scoresheet.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs Detroit Red Wings Team News
Toronto Maple Leafs Team News
Anthony Stolarz remains out for the Maple Leafs due to an upper-body injury, but the netminder has a shot at being available on Wednesday. A decision on Stolarz’s status will be made closer to puck drop, but he’s the only injured player on the roster who has a chance of returning to the ice for this game.
The rest of Toronto’s injured players are Dakota Joshua (upper body), Dakota Mermis (lower body), William Nylander (groin), and Chris Tanev (groin). Not having Nylander is a huge blow to the Maple Leafs’ offence, as he leads the team with 48 points in 37 outings (17 goals, 31 assists). It’s uncertain who will be their starting goaltender for this contest.
Detroit Red Wings Team News
The Red Wings have a clean bill of health ahead of this matchup and don’t have any players dealing with physical or fitness issues. They’ve been one of the healthiest teams in the NHL all season, and that might be one of the reasons why Detroit have won seven of their last 10 games.
The Red Wings will probably rely on John Gibson to guard their crease on Wednesday. The veteran 32-year-old netminder has won each of his last six starts, posting a 1.98 GAA and .928 save percentage in that stretch.
