Chicago has probably let a playoff berth slip out of their grasp but they’ve still been playing solid hockey lately. The Hawks have rattled off three in a row and are now 5 points back from the wild card with 13 games to go.
Toronto is sitting comfortably in third in the Atlantic and with a 6 point lead over the wild card teams. The Maple Leafs could get complacent in this spot, but oddsmakers aren’t banking on that making the home squad a wild -230 favorite.
Chicago Blackhawks
The Hawks seemed to have battened down their defensive issues at least temporarily. Chicago has won three straight games including back-to-back wins over potential playoff teams in the Stars and Coyotes.
Even more impressive about the Blackhawks wins is that they’ve come by a combined score of 9-2. That’s a huge sign for a defense that had just been lit up for 38 goals in the 8 games prior.

4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Over
There’s absolutely no value or really any reason to take the Maple Leafs on the -230 ML. That line probably says that Toronto gets an easy win however. The puck line is also too risky but at the very least these two teams should put some pucks in the net.
