The Toronto Maple Leafs aren’t travelling too far for a road date with the Detroit Red Wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Toronto is a legitimate contender in an Atlantic Division that isn’t as competitive as its been recently. The Maple Leafs should win against a struggling Detroit squad. Additionally, I’m betting on Morgan Rielly to score a point and Mitch Marner to earn one on the power play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Maple Leafs picks vs. Red Wings for Dec. 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: Maple Leafs to win in regulation (-105)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bettors can expect this to feel like a pseudo-Maple Leafs home game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a weekend southern Ontario sports fans have had circled on their calendars for months. The Maple Leafs play the Red Wings tonight while the area’s adopted football team, the Buffalo Bills, battle the Detroit Lions on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This game could feel like a Leafs nation invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I expect Toronto to feed off the raucous environment and continue playing some solid hockey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Maple Leafs have won seven of their last 10 games ahead of this contest. The team is getting excellent goaltending from Joseph Woll. The netminder owns a .935 save percentage across his last six appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detroit, meanwhile, is struggling to receive quality puck-stopping contributions. It ranks 22nd in save percentage (.888) across the last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Red Wings have lost six of their last seven, ceding four-plus goals in five of those outings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> 15 of Toronto’s 18 wins this campaign have come in regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rielly to score 1+ points (+110):<\/strong> Rielly snapped a three-game pointless streak on Thursday, and there’s potential for him to do more damage tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detroit’s recent goaltending struggles work in his and the offence’s favour. Additionally, Rielly skates on Toronto’s top power play which is an advantageous spot to be in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Red Wings rank 31st on the penalty kill this season (67.9%). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good portion of Rielly’s production has come on the man advantage. Seven of his 16 points are power-play tallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marner to score a power-play point (+150):<\/strong> Rielly isn’t the only Maple Leafs star I’m picking to have a strong game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marner should also be able to take advantage of this matchup, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winger leads the squad in points (38) and power-play points (15).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marner’s recent production on the man advantage is encouraging. He has two power-play points in his last five contests and six in his last 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s historically done well against Detroit, too. Marner has 30 points in 25 career games against the Red Wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
