St. Louis Blues vs Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction
I’m not excited to get behind the Maple Leafs in their current form, as they haven’t won a game in two weeks. However, the Leafs are at home where 7 of their 8 wins have come, and it’s fair to say there’s more talent on this roster than the recent stretch indicates. The Maple Leafs will turn things around sooner than later. For the Blues, I’m not so sure, as they’re a mess across the board and are one of the biggest losers for NHL bettors. Only the Predators and Flames have lost bettors more money this season. I like the Leafs to stop the bleeding Tuesday night.
