Colorado Avalanche vs Toronto Maple Leafs Moneyline Prediction

The Avalanche snapped a two-game losing skid with a 4-0 shutout win over the Detroit Red Wings in their most recent outing. They’re 4-1-1 over their last six. This was a step in the right direction for the Avs after they allowed 10 goals across their previous two contests, but their road record remains a concern. Colorado has lost four of its last five away from home.

The Maple Leafs, meanwhile, have struggled at home and enter this matchup on a three-game home losing skid. Toronto has lost five of its last six outings after winning four straight between October 19 and October 24. The team has also been dealing with injuries.

Although the home and road records don’t clearly favour either side, the Avalanche’s healthier roster gives it an advantage. Despite its road woes, Colorado has the edge in recent results, the goaltending matchup, and star power against a struggling, shorthanded Toronto team.

Colorado Avalanche vs Toronto Maple Leafs Projected Starting Goalies

The Avalanche have a clear goaltending edge, reflected in each goaltender’s numbers. The Maple Leafs would narrow the gap if they start Anthony Stolarz (2.72 GAA, .908).

Colorado Avalanche vs Toronto Maple Leafs Player Prop

Nathan MacKinnon recorded three points (one goal, two assists) in Saturday’s 4-0 win over Detroit. It was his third multi-point performance in his last five games, and the star playmaker could take advantage of a favourable matchup against a Maple Leafs defence that has allowed 18 goals in their last five outings.

MacKinnon is averaging 20:40 of ice time per game this season and maintains a prominent role as the first-line centre at even strength and on the power play.

Colorado Avalanche vs Toronto Maple Leafs Total Goals Prediction

This matchup features two above-average offences. The Avalanche rank third in the NHL in goals per game this season (4.00), while the Maple Leafs are 12th with 3.37. Neither team is as strong defensively, however. Colorado ranks 13th in goals allowed per game (3.06), while Toronto sits 21st (3.32).

The Avalanche’s games average 7.06 total goals, while the Maple Leafs’ average 6.69. These figures support the Over 6.5 selection. Moreover, the previous head-to-head meeting this season ended in a 6-3 Toronto win. Another open contest with plenty of scoring opportunities at both ends could be in store.

Colorado Avalanche Team News and Injury Report

The Avalanche are close to full strength, with only Zachary L’Heureux (upper body) and Josh Manson (ankle) listed as unavailable. Neither would be expected to have a major role in the lineup if healthy.

One player to watch in Colorado, beyond MacKinnon, is star blueliner Cale Makar. He leads the team in points over its last five outings with 10 (two goals, eight assists).

The Avalanche last played on Saturday, giving them two full days of rest. This clash marks the beginning of a four-game road trip.

Toronto Maple Leafs Team News and Injury Report

The Maple Leafs are dealing with several injuries. Forwards Kirill Marchenko, Jack Roslovic, and Colton Sissons, along with blueliners Marshall Rifai and Morgan Rielly, are sidelined with lower-body injuries. Centre Max Domi (back) is also out.

As a result, Teddy Blueger, Vinni Lettieri, Zack MacEwen, and Dakota Joshua are taking on bigger roles up front. Dakota Mermis and Cole McWard have also assumed greater responsibilities on defence, further testing the Maple Leafs’ depth.

Toronto last played at home on Sunday. This will be its fourth straight game at Scotiabank Arena, but the Maple Leafs have one fewer day of rest than Colorado.
