Toronto vs Vegas Prediction: Who will continue their winning streak?

Toronto has now won 3 straight, while Vegas has now won 7. Who will continue their winning streak?

After a confident 5-2 victory over Philadelphia, Sheldon Keefe's team had a magnificent back-to-back win, beating arguably the two strongest teams in the East today in regulation time. First, Toronto defeated Boston 2-1 on home ice. Then they beat Carolina 3-1 away. In doing so, the Maple Leafs showed that they should not be written off.

Craig Berube's partnership with the Vegas Golden Knights has been very productive thus far. Under the direction of the former Boston coach, the Knights have won 11 out of 13 games and are solely at the top of the Western Conference standings. In the case of Toronto, Vegas is coming into the game with a winning streak of seven straight victories. The Canadiens were the previous two victims of the Golden Knights - Ottawa (5-4) and Montreal (6-4). 

Toronto has their main goalkeepers - Samsonov and Murray - on the sideline. Therefore, Erik Källgren will most likely take over the goalkeeping role in the game against Vegas. The Swede had a great game against Carolina, but he could end up missing for the second straight game - the 26-year-old player has only 20 NHL games under his belt. Vegas is not the opponent that will forgive the Maple Leafs for lineup inaccuracies. There is a reason why Bruce Cassidy's team is ranked number one in the Western Conference, right?

We predict that Vegas will not lose for 1.58.
