#70 ASA NHL PLAY ON 8* Toronto Maple Leafs Puck Line (-1.5 goals -120) over Montreal Canadiens, Wednesday at 7 PM ET - The Maple Leafs are highly motivated after another tough exit from the post-season last spring. This Toronto team is again loaded this season while it looks like Montreal will be one of the weaker teams in the league again this season. Last season the Canadiens finished dead last in the division while the Leafs were 2nd to only the Bruins as the latter had a historical regular season. Montreal lost 27 of 41 road games last season while the Maple Leafs won 27 of 41 home games last season. 10 of the Canadiens last 12 losses last season were by 2 or more goals. The last 11 meetings between these clubs has seen the home team win all 11 games and last season Toronto's two home wins over Montreal were by a combined score of 12 to 2. The Maple Leafs are a big money line favorite for a reason here and you can also see why the odds suggest a good probability that the winner of this game in Toronto will win it by 2 or more goals. Laying the 1.5 goals with home favorite Toronto at a very reasonable low price in this one is the value play here.
