New York Islanders vs Toronto Maple Leafs Predictions

Toronto's price leaves little room for uncertainty

Toronto returns home after a 3-2 loss to Montreal in its season opener. SportsLine / RotoWire reported that William Nylander scored both Maple Leafs goals. New York will be playing its first regular-season game.

SportsPicksForum makes Toronto a -120 moneyline favorite, with New York at +100. The Maple Leafs are -1.5 on the puck line, and the total is 5.5. Toronto is the likelier winner at home, but the available evidence doesn't justify paying -120.

Sorokin starts, but Barzal's status is unclear

SportsLine / RotoWire reported that Ilya Sorokin would start for the Islanders. A confirmed goalie gives New York some stability, but Toronto's starter has not been confirmed in the available reporting.

Fubo News lists Mathew Barzal out with a knee injury, while the SportsLine / RotoWire injury section lists no injuries for either team. That conflict makes New York's lineup difficult to project and rules out a confident wager on either side.

Prediction

Toronto is the low-confidence pick to win, but the betting lean is Pass. There isn't enough reliable lineup or recent-form information to support the moneyline, puck line or total at the SportsPicksForum prices.
