The Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning face off on Monday in a college basketball showdown at Amalie Arena. When these two teams faced off in December of 2021 it was Tampa Bay that won 5-3.
Toronto Maple Leafs
Toronto comes into this game with a 44-19-5 record overall and they have gone 19-12-3 away from home. Toronto has won four games in a row and in the last game the offense scored six goals against the Philadelphia Flyers and that led to the three goal victory.
Toronto is averaging 3.76 goals per game while their defense is giving up 3.02 goals per game. The offense is ranked second in the NHL and in this game if they want to come away with a victory the offense is going to need to be good.
The best player this season for the Maple Leafs has been Auston Matthews and he has scored 51 goals and added 37 assists. Mitchell Marner has also been strong, scoring 28 goals and adding 53 assists.
Tampa Bay Lightning
On the other side of this matchup is the Tampa Bay Lightning who sit with a 43-18-7 record overall and they have gone 21-6-5 at home. Even though the Lightning have had a strong season they are coming off a disappointing loss in the last game. Against Montreal the defense gave up five goals and that led to the loss.
Tampa Bay is averaging 3.32 goals per game while their defense is giving up 2.75 goals per game. Both have been good this season, but the defense is going to need to be better in this game.
Steven Stamkos is having another big season scoring 32 goals and adding another 44 assists. Victor Hedman has also scored 19 goals and added 47 assists.

The Lightning didn’t look great in the last game but I expect their offense is going to be good in this game, and that will be enough for them to get the job done. Look for the Lightning to score four or five goals and they will win this game on the money line.
