Red Wings vs Maple Leafs Key Stats
The Wings have been below average on offense this season. A major effort has come from Dylan Larkin and Dominik Kubalik. They have 25 goals and 36 assists between them.
Their defense has conceded over three goals per game this season and needs to improve their working rate to have better results. We can expect them to bring changes in the defensive setup to bring out the best of the goaltenders, and to have a solid backline going forward this season.

Their defense has done well, providing support to the offensive setup, conceding 2.64 goals per game on average this season. All the goaltenders have done their job and have a combined save percentage of over 0.900. They will be very crucial as the team looks to start winning again.
Red Wings vs Maple Leafs Betting Prediction
This is another game in which a lot will depend on the offense to decide the result. The Wings have failed to do well in the last couple of games and are likely to struggle in this game due to inconsistent offense.
On the other hand, Leafs have been in a commanding position at home and come with a better overall team. Their defense is also a plus.
We can expect the Leafs to get the result.
Prediction: Maple Leafs, -1.5(-130)
