Buffalo vs. Toronto: NHL Match Prediction

Current form

Toronto has found great form and continues to show excellent results from match to match. After an unsuccessful performance away to Detroit and a 2:4 defeat, the team returned to their home arena, where they immediately rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans, winning a confident victory over Buffalo (5:3). Once again, the Maple Leafs showed their full attacking potential, which allowed them to make a comeback after two missed goals. In particular, it is worth praising forward Tavares, who scored a hat trick. But the young goalie Hildeby could not prove himself in his first match of the season, reflecting only 88% of the shots.

Then the "leaves" went on the road again, but this time they met a much more powerful competitor in the face of "Dallas", but this did not prevent them from earning another confident victory with a score of 5:3. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, since almost all of them distinguished themselves with effective actions. True, it is worth noting that the attacking line did not look so menacing and in three periods made only 19 shots on the goal of the "Stars", but this was enough. Thanks to the large number of points scored, the club was able to rise to third place in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the leader was reduced to only three points.

Disqualifications and injuries

There are no changes in Toronto infirmary so far. The team continues to play without four players: Hakanpaa, Jarnkrok, Klingberg and Stolars.
