The 38-year-old superstar has 15 goals and 25 points in 23 games this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODg1JnA9MzEwMjY%3D\">Don&#8217;t miss out \u2014 bet on Crosby now<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crosby is second on the Penguins in shots this year with 53, and he&#8217;s still the focal point of Pittsburgh&#8217;s offensive attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The offence shouldn&#8217;t meet much resistance against a Maple Leafs team that&#8217;s been all sorts of bad in their own zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defensively, Toronto ranks poorly in some of the most important defensive categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>31st in shots per game (31.3)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>29th in goals per game (3.63)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>27th in scoring chances per 60 (30.2)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, the Maple Leafs look like the Washington Generals on most nights in their own end.
