Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montreal Canadiens: Will the Leafs outplay the Canadiens this time?

Prediction for the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montreal Canadiens match, which will take place on April 10. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Ahead of the start of the play-offs, Toronto looks intimidatingly powerful. In 6 of their last 7 games, they have scored at least 5 goals. Their opponent on this stretch was very strong. The Leafs scored 5 goals against Florida, 6 goals against Boston and Tampa Bay, 7 goals against Winnipeg. Toronto's offence is good. The big question before the Stanley Cup is whether goaltender Campbell, far from the league's most notable goalie, can defend the gate.

Toronto is in third place in the Eastern Conference standings. If the regular season ended right now, the Maple Leafs would play Tampa Bay in the first round.

The Canadiens beat New Jersey (7:4) on the road last night. Martin St. Louis, who leads the table in the East, is three points closer to the bottom of the table than the Devils. Staying last, the club will have a better chance of getting the high draft picks.

Toronto is in significant form, scoring and beating all the other teams that come their way. Montreal dropped off at the end of the regular season. The Canadiens had a good run in the middle of the championship and were content with that.

Besides the winning streak, the Leafs' increased motivation speaks in Toronto's favour. Sheldon Keefe's team had lost the previous two away games to Montreal and will certainly get revenge on home ice.
