Stars vs Maple Leafs Best Picks and Prediction
As their problems in the first four games of the season are not a true reflection of the skill they have to offer on the ice, Toronto will eventually find its offensive onslaught clicking. They will be up against a Dallas team that has given up only three goals in three games this season, which will be an issue for them in this encounter.
In three games, Oettinger has been a virtually impenetrable wall in goal, stopping 84 of 87 shots (.966 save percentage) while the attack erupted for 13 goals. That presents a challenge for Toronto because they haven't played against a team this season that is as stingy as the Stars.
Pick: Auston Matthews Anytime Scorer (-120)
Prediction: Dallas Stars +155
