Toronto Maple Leafs vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction: Maple Leafs will qualify for the East semi-finals

Prediction for the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs vs Tampa Bay Lightning match, which will take place on May 15. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Toronto made a severe misfire in the last game. The Leafs were one step away from making the playoffs, but their conceded puck in overtime leaves intrigue in the series. The seventh meeting fell to Toronto's Scotiabank Arena. Of course, the Maple Leafs will feel much more confident here with the fan support. Toronto has beaten Tampa Bay at home in two games out of three by a combined score of 12:8.

The sixth game was extremely difficult for Tampa Bay. The Lightning played the first half very well and led 2:0. However, in the second half, the team conceded three goals and had to come back to score. Russian forward Nikita Kucherov made it to overtime with a goal in the tenth minute of the third period. Brayden Point scored in the sixth with a goal in the 19th minute of overtime.

Toronto is the favorite to win the final game of the series. The Maple Leafs allowed themselves a chance to relax last time they played away. They won't have that luxury now. The Leafs will be playing with the support of their home crowd, which will give them a fighting spirit for the entire game.

In addition to Toronto advancing to the Eastern semifinals, we expect a head-to-head encounter. In five games in a row, the opponents have had no trouble breaking the standard total, scoring an average of 6.33 goals. Therefore, we'd advise betting on a home team not to lose and on a TO with a margin.
