This year the Maple Leafs have played decent for the most part. Now, the Maple Leafs sit in 3rd place in the Atlantic Division. The last game the Maple Leafs beat the Florida Panthers by a score of 5-2. The win moved Toronto up to a 34-23-8 record on the year.

    The Maple Leafs are looking decent on the offensive side of the puck. The downside is the defense for Toronto has struggled most of the year and while the struggles are nothing major, it is enough that the offense has to keep working on to improve. The Canucks are almost balanced to the Maple Leafs, but playing on the road the Canucks are not going to have  good offensive showing and that will cost the Canucks in the game. Final Score Prediction,  Toronto Maple Leafs win 5-4.
