Toronto vs Minnesota Prediction: the Fifth Win for the Hosts?

Prediction for the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs vs Minnesota Wild match, which will take place on February 25th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Toronto looks excellent this season. The team is fighting for the highest places in the East. Before the game, they are fourth in the conference standings and second in the Atlantic Division. The Maple Leafs have 78 points, which obviously makes their fans happy. They also have an excellent chance of winning the Stanley Cup finally. Note that after two wins, Toronto somehow managed to lose to Chicago with a score of 3-5, but in the previous meeting improved and dealt with Buffalo (6-3).

Minnesota has their sights set on making the playoffs. So far, the Wild sit in that zone, but their position can be called precarious. After all, the team is only seventh in the Western Conference standings with 69 points and third in the Central Division. And that's even though the Wildcats earned the maximum eight points over the last four games - four wins. In the past, Minnesota got a shutout on the road over Columbus, 2-0.

• Minnesota has won the past four games.
• Six of the past seven meetings of Minnesota have not ended with a TO (5.5).

In this matchup, we favor Toronto. The Maple Leafs are fighting for the top position in the East. They have a great roster, which Ryan O'Reilly recently joined. At this point, the hosts are simply stronger than the visitors. In addition, Toronto is performing better at home than on the road. Minnesota also has a back-and-forth with a trip, so they might not have enough energy.
