ASA PLAY ON Free Pick: Toronto Maple Leafs Puck Line -1.5 goals over Vancouver Canucks, Sunday @ 7:05 PM ET

We have seen covid impact the sports world for more than a year. However, we can not remember in any sport, college or pro, a disparity this big in a match-up as a result of covid. Toronto has been rolling along playing games as per usual and will be just fine here. But the Canucks have not played a game since March 24th. So you have a team that has been off for more than 3 and 1 / 2 weeks trying to take on a team that is firing on all cylinders right now and has been enjoying its normal routine. This is likely to get very ugly for the host and, of course, that is why Toronto is nearly a 3 to 1 favorite on the money line on the road in this one. We would never lay that kind of price but where we get the value in this one is with the puck line as the Maple Leafs at -1.5 goals are available at a very small price. Lay it! Strengthening this situation is the fact that Toronto has been one of the best teams in the NHL this season but now enters this game off 3 straight losses. They are angry here and will show the Canucks no mercy. Free Pick: Toronto Maple Leafs Puck Line in early evening action Sunday
