Pittsburgh vs Toronto Prediction: We Shouldn't Underestimate the Penguins

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Pittsburgh vs Toronto, which will take place on December 8th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Penguins had a good five-game stretch. Despite a tough schedule, Pittsburgh managed to gain eight points and move closer to the playoff spot. Heading into the upcoming clash, they are tenth in the Eastern Conference, two points behind eighth-placed Tampa. The Penguins were outplayed by the Rangers on the road last time out, but had previously beaten Vancouver, Boston, Calgary and Florida.

Toronto hosted Washington recently, but the success did not end there. The Leafs found the match to be extremely difficult, with everything going against them, as the second goal by the Capitals perfectly illustrated that. Three games earlier, though, the Maple Leafs had no trouble gaining points. They defeated Tampa 5-3, Chicago 4-1, and Nashville 3-2. Toronto is now fighting for a plce in top three in the East with 34 points.

The bookmakers are tipping Toronto to win, which will be to our advantage. Pittsburgh has looked better in their last five matches and will be playing at home, where they have won three games. Toronto hasn't done well on the road. The Leafs have managed just three victories of the previous ten away games. With that in mind, we suggest you take a closer look at this bet - Pittsburgh will not lose.
