Toronto Maple Leafs vs Minnesota Wild Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Toronto Maple Leafs
This matchup between the Maple Leafs and the Wild presents a classic clash of styles. On one hand, Toronto rely on their home-ice advantage and their prolific offence (3.38 goals per game, the seventh-best mark in the NHL) to get the job done.
On the other hand, Minnesota are among the best defensive teams in the league, ranking seventh in goals allowed per game (2.80) while posting good results on the road (W14, L7, OT3).
The Maple Leafs are the best home side in the Eastern Conference with a W16, L5, OT5 mark and 37 points at Scotiabank Arena. However, the Wild can’t be overlooked.

They rank third in the Western Conference in away performance with 31 points, trailing only the Dallas Stars (36 points) and the Colorado Avalanche (33 points) among Western teams.
When weighing both squads’ strengths and weaknesses, all signs point toward an even contest.
However, the Maple Leafs will have the edge of playing at home against a Minnesota side that’s currently in the midst of a road trip. That should be enough to believe Toronto will secure the victory in what promises to be a tight game.
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Minnesota Wild Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Auston Matthews over 0.5 goals
Every time the Maple Leafs are favoured to win, there’s a good chance that Auston Matthews will crack the scoresheet. The star forward leads Toronto in goals with 24 and should have a huge role with William Nylander (lower body) sidelined. Matthews has found the back of the net in three of his last four appearances and nine times in nine games this month.
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Minnesota Wild Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 4.5 total goals + Auston Matthews over 0.5 points + Kirill Kaprizov over 0.5 points
For our three-leg parlay, we expect this matchup to trend toward a relatively high-scoring outcome. Each of the Maple Leafs’ last five outings has produced five or more goals, but that shouldn’t surprise anyone given the gap between their offence and defence.
Toronto also have the second-best attack in the Eastern Conference at home with 96 goals scored (3.69 per game).

We’re also backing two of the best players on the ice, Matthews and Kirill Kaprizov, to crack the scoresheet at some point. Matthews has been outstanding of late with 13 points (nine goals, four assists) in nine games in January while failing to put up points just twice in that span.
As for Kaprizov, he recorded three assists in the win over the Sabres on January 17 and has registered eight points (two goals, six assists) in eight appearances this month.
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Minnesota Wild Team News
Toronto Maple Leafs Team News
The Maple Leafs will be without a key offensive piece in William Nylander, who has been ruled out due to a lower-body injury.
This is a huge blow for their offence, as the star winger had been Toronto’s most productive player of late with seven points (three goals, four assists) over his last four outings.
Simon Benoit (upper body) is considered day-to-day and has a shot to play Monday, but the rest of the injured players will remain sidelined. The list includes goaltender Anthony Stolarz (upper body), defencemen Chris Tanev (groin) and Dakota Mermis (lower body), and winger Dakota Joshua (upper body).
Minnesota Wild Team News
The Wild have five players ruled out due to injury, and none of them will be available for this clash on Monday. Thus, they’ll be lacking depth on both ends of the ice, with the biggest absence being Matt Boldy.
The 24-year-old is on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury, and he’d been riding a productive stretch with 22 points (12 goals, 10 assists) in 22 games since the beginning of December.
The other absentees are defencemen Zach Bogosian (undisclosed) and Jonas Brodin (lower body), as well as Joel Eriksson Ek and Marcus Johansson due to lower-body injuries. All four players are expected to return at some point before the end of January, but each case will be determined on a day-to-day basis.
