Today’s matchup sees the Toronto Maple Leaf’s Taking on the Host Washington Capitals. This matchup on paper looks to be a high scoring affair as both teams have 2 of the best offenses in the league.
A side matchup in the game is between Toronto forward Auston Matthews and Washington captain Alex Ovechkin. Ovechkin is regarded as one of the best goals scorers of all time.
Matthews has been the best at even strength since he entered the league. He currently has 6 in 6 games and is a threat to score every night.

It will be interesting to see how this game plays out but I am predicting a high scoring game.
Toronto Maple Leafs
Toronto enters this game on the back end of a back to back. They also had to fly out immediately after the game so it could be that the Leafs have tired legs.
Auston Matthews has started the season off extremely hot and he is being described as “Mr. October” by some Leaf fans for his goal-scoring ability in the month.

The Leafs enter this matchup relatively healthy but with the exception of Zach Hyman. Their top line has struggled without the energy player and this would be the time for them to produce.
Washington Capitals
The Capitals will be the hosts in this game and will look to get back on track with a victory over the Leafs. Their last loss was an embarrassing home 6-3 blowout at the hands of the Avalanche.
The Capitals are looking like the favorites here as the Leafs are on the tail end of a back to back and they will probably turn to Michael Hutchinson in the crease.
Look for the Capitals powerplay to rack up some points here against tired leaf legs and their backup goalie. If they can get a couple of goals early this game may turn into a blowout against a leaf team that hasn’t been great defensively.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Maple Leafs are 8-20 in their last 28 games as an underdog.
- Under is 5-0 in Maple Leafs last 5 games as a home underdog.

Free Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Washington Capitals NHL Prediction:
I think this is going to be a relatively high scoring game. It’s close on paper so I think I’d look at the over for this game as each team is more than capable of filling the scoresheet.
