Toronto Maple Leafs vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction: The opponents will reach the total over

Prediction for the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs vs Tampa Bay Lightning match, which will take place on December 21. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Toronto is fighting for the lead in the East, but so far, without success. Currently, the Leafs are in fourth place in the standings, with the same number of points as the higher-ranked Carolina and New Jersey (44). They are eight points behind first-place Boston. The Maple Leafs approach their home game against Tampa Bay after two straight losses, 1:3 to the Rangers and 2:5 to Washington.

Tampa Bay has noticeably picked up its pace. It has notched five straight wins, 24:7 overall, and the best team record in the Eastern Conference. Thanks to that, the Lightning moved to fifth place, three points behind the top three. In addition, it is worth mentioning Nikita Kucherov, who scored 47 points in 30 games, scored 12 goals, and had 35 assists. The Lightning beat Montreal 5:1 in their last game.

A meeting of two plus or minus equal teams. In the last two games, Toronto looked very average, but he will play in front of their stands, adding a lot of confidence in the match against Nikita Kucherov and his company. The Lightning is on a moral high after five straight victories, so they are 100% ready for the road trip to Toronto. In this pairing, we suggest not getting into the outcome and betting on the regular total over.
