The Coach's NHL Tuesday SURE SHOT - TOR@DAL
(NHL) Toronto vs. Dallas,
Money Line: -135.00 Dallas (Home)
Result: Loss
The Toronto Maple Leafs have somewhat surprisingly managed to amass more points than the Dallas Stars so far this season. If recent form is any indication though, we'll likely see order restored sooner rather than later. The visitors have dropped three in a row while the hosts are looking for a fifth straight win, and I think they'll get it.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Maple Leafs Leaking Defense - Toronto has conceded 15 goals over their last three games and defensive woes are not a recent issue as they rank near the bottom of the league allowing 2.97 goals per game. The Stars may have an even worse goals against average, but they have only conceded nine goals over their last four games.

2. Road Woes - The Maple Leafs have won only one of their last four away from home and recent meetings between these two teams have favored the home team, with the hosts winning five of the last six.

3. X-Factor - Tyler Seguin is leading the NHL with 25 goals and scored twice on nine shots Sunday.

Selection: This is a play on the Dallas Stars (8*)
