Pittsburgh vs Toronto Prediction: the Maple Leafs to Earn Two Points

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Pittsburgh vs Toronto, which will take place on March 2nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Pittsburgh

Mike Sullivan's team did well to stop their fifth straight loss, and in their last match they played pretty well against Philadelphia, although the Penguins were a bit more lucky at the end (5-4 in OT). But this win probably won't change their position in the Eastern Conference standings, with Pittsburgh probably going to be second to last with 57 points. They're just nine points behind the wild card spot, but with such tough competition, it'll be hard to win that back.

Toronto

As Washington keeps stumbling, Toronto's chances of winning the East get better. The Maple Leafs are on a four-game winning streak, with a 19-11 record overall, which is one of the best in the conference right now.And they beat Florida by points, taking second place. Right now, the difference between the teams is only one point, so Craig Berube's team can't afford to mess up.

H2H Meetings
