Ducks vs. Maple Leafs: NHL Odds, Picks & Predictions (Tuesday)

It's a packed NHL slate tonight, with 24 teams hitting the ice. There are some intriguing matchups on the schedule with the Stars taking on the Devils, the Islanders squaring off against the Bruins, and the Golden Knights going toe-to-toe with the Jets in Winnipeg.

There are plenty of ways to bet on tonight's 12-game lineup, but I've narrowed in on these three wagers. And here’s a closer look at Ducks vs. Maple Leafs .

Top 3 NHL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Ducks vs. Maple Leafs 

The largest mismatch on tonight's betting board sees the Ducks (+360) taking on the Maple Leafs (-450). Anaheim is fresh off a loss last night to Ottawa, where they were shut out 3-0 in Ontario. They'll make the short trip to Toronto for tonight's 7:00 p.m. ET showdown with the Leafs.

This game will be a massacre, and I'll back the Leafs on the puck line in this spot. Anaheim enters tonight's contest with the largest goal differential in the NHL at -53. The Ducks rank dead last in the league in both scoring (2.3 gpg) and in goals allowed (4.0 opposing gpg). They simply don't have the talent to keep up on either end of the ice, which will be a major issue against a team of Toronto's caliber. Look for the Maple Leafs to get after it early and often tonight and stretch this lead out to at least two goals. 

Bet: Toronto Maple Leafs -1.5 (-170 via DraftKings)
