Maple Leafs vs Canucks: Does Toronto stand any chance against the best team in the NHL?
The Toronto Maple Leafs are visiting the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena on Saturday evening.
Toronto had the leading goal-scorer in the league
The Toronto Maple Leafs are sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 22-13-8 record. They tied the longest losing streak of the season, failing in four consecutive games before a 4-3 win over the Calgary Flames in the last one. The Maple Leafs are sixth in the league scoring 3.49 goals per game and are ranked 21st in the league allowing 3.46. Auston Matthews has another impressive season, leading the league with 37 goals. William Nylander leads the Maple Leafs with a total of 59 points, which puts him tied for sixth place in the NHL.
The Canucks have the best record in the league
The Vancouver Canucks are on top of the Western Conference with a 30-11-4 record, leading the NHL with 64 points. Vancouver has won 6 of the last 7 games and is coming off a 2-1 win over the Arizona Coyotes. They score a league-high 3.78 goals per game and are ranked second, allowing 2.51 goals per game. JT Miller leads the Canucks with 61 points, which ranks him tied for fourth place in the league.
Betting Trends
Vancouver has won the last 6 games against Toronto. They are 6-1 SU in the last 7 games and 7-1 SU in the last 8 home games. Toronto is 1-4 SU in the last 5 games.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Vancouver Canucks have made a huge leap compared to last season, and they are the best team in the league at the midpoint of the 2023–24 season. The Canucks are excellent on both ends of the ice, and no defense can slow them down. The Maple Leafs are going through a difficult period, losing 4 of the last 5 games. They have the best goal scorer in the league in Auston Matthews, who may be a problem for the Canucks but is still not enough to win the game for Toronto. The Canucks will be aggressive for the entire game and will add another win.
