Command Analysis

Toronto Maple Leafs

Current form
Toronto remains one of the leaders of the Eastern Conference and is currently on the fourth line of the standings. The team, of course, cannot claim the first place, but it may well gain a foothold in the second position if it finds more stability. We emphasize that the club has problems with this throughout the season, and it replaces successful series with a series of defeats. So, the Leafs recently faced three unsuccessful matches in a row.
They lost to San Jose (2:3B) on their ice, and lost to Vegas (2:5) and Colorado (4:7) on the road. It was only in the decisive confrontation with Utah that Craig Berube's squad pulled themselves together and dealt with their opponent with a score of 4:3 in shootouts, however, that match turned out to be incredibly tense.
In general, the leafs perform more powerfully on their own ice than on the road, and usually open up the opponents' defenses at least three times. Mitchell Marner remains the main scorer in the squad, who has already managed to earn 80 points in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pacioretty, Hakanpaa and Tanev will not be able to help their team in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Toronto wins 53.3% of face-offs
- Toronto has an 80:55 ratio in scoring and missed goals in the second period.

Florida Panthers

Current form
Florida remains one of the most stable clubs in the Eastern Conference, although it is ahead of its opponent by just a couple of points. The team is having a great time in the second half of the championship and is often successful. Most recently, she had a great series of six victories and dealt with her opponents with extreme confidence, winning by a few goals.
However, after successful matches against Tampa (2-1), Columbus (3-0) and Buffalo (4-0), the Panthers went on the road and unexpectedly lost to Boston with a score of 2:3, although they were considered favorites of that confrontation. Recall that in that match with the Bruins, Andrew Brunett's team controlled absolutely everything until the third period, in which they had a two-goal advantage, but completely failed in the end and allowed the bears to succeed in regular time.
Nevertheless, such offensive defeats do happen, and usually after them, Florida quickly recovered and showed its best side in the next match. By the way, this year the team is playing more than successfully on the road, and before that it had already won in regular time in 16 meetings.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tkachuk and Marchand will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Florida gets an average of 9.89 minutes of penalty time per match.
- Florida has a 75:60 ratio of goals scored and conceded in the second period.

2.50Tip and bets
Florida looks more stable than its rival and looks stronger throughout the season. It is no coincidence that the last match against the Toronto Panthers ended in their favor with a score of 5:1, because even then they were better. Of course, the visitors stumbled in the final meeting with Boston, but this defeat should not break them in any way. Moreover, in most of the previous meetings, the Brunette team achieved success in the main time, while the leaves often lost.
Prediction - Florida wins with a handicap (0) in 1.82
Betting on an individual total
Florida has a great record of performance, even when it's playing away. The Panthers also scored at least three goals in the previous four out of five matches against Toronto. The Leafs, as you know, do not have a perfect defensive game and allow their opponents too much at their own goal, so it is likely that the guests will score three times in this match.
We're betting on Florida's individual total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.65
Bet on the total total
The last matches between the teams were quite effective and often took place with more than five goals scored. Florida plays more open hockey on the road and tries to play on opposite courses more often. Toronto, in turn, has played four of the previous five matches with six or more goals scored. Based on this, we take the total more.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.85
