Toronto Maple Leafs vs Pittsburgh Penguins: Opponents are worthy of each other

Prediction for the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs vs Pittsburgh Penguins match, which will take place on February 18. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Toronto's last three games were far from their best. They beat Seattle (6:2) and suffered two defeats (2:5 against Calgary and 2:3 against Vancouver). However, these minor losses did not affect the Leafs' position in the Atlantic Division standings. Toronto is in third place at the end of 46 games with 65 points.

Pittsburgh is doing much better. The Penguins are leading the Metropolitan Division, three points ahead of second-placed Carolina. The Penguins will definitely not stop there, as they need to beat the Maple Leafs to become first in the East. The Penguins defeated New Jersey by two goals in the last two meetings and outscored Philadelphia in overtime.

Toronto is excellent in front of its stands. They've won six of their last six games, but Pittsburgh has no problem playing away. Their six-game winning streak is a testament to that. The opponents are worthy of each other, and as a result, we can conclude that the game will be a three-way tie. It's worth noting that, playing in Toronto, the rivals have failed to break the total over the last four games. In our opinion, this match will not be an exception. Prediction: Total Under (6.5).
