Game Preview
It has been a reliable period in the NHL for the Toronto Maple Leafs, as they have re-emerged as a playoff contender after winning seven of their last ten games. Eye-catchingly, they have suffered just a single defeat in regulation time across that period.
The Maple Leafs continued their upward form with an overtime success earlier this week, outlasting the Winnipeg Jets to register a 4-3 win.
That was the perfect response from the team following back-to-back defeats against the Utah Mammoth and Vegas Golden Knights. However, it could be worth noting that they have now conceded 15 goals in their last three games.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Wild will also have playoff chances this season. They come into this Monday night game after going 4-3-3 across their last ten. Despite that underwhelming run of wins, they still remain third in the Central Division.
The Wild have won 27 of their 49 games this season, and they boast one of the best offensive records in the division.
Confidence would have been gained following a 5-4 win over the Buffalo Sabres in their latest outing. But, like the Leafs, they have endured mixed fortunes defensively after allowing 15 goals in their last three.
Wild vs. Maple Leafs Picks
Goals should be assured based on the recent defensive records of these two sides. However, the Maple Leafs should be capable of gaining the win with home advantage in their favor.
