Maple Leafs host the Avalanche in a potential Stanley Cup preview | Toronto Today

‍

Don’t dwell on last night’s Raptors loss, the hottest team in the NHL is back at Scotiabank Arena! This, is Toronto… today!

‍

Even with Memphis missing star Ja Morant, the Raptors couldn’t overcome an early first-half deficit and fell 98-91 to their expansion cousins.

‍

Scottie Barnes cashed in his over 15.5-point prop with a couple of big plays to keep the game close, while Fred VanVleet narrowly missed hitting his over 18.5 total, settling for 15 points.

‍

The Raptors are back tomorrow hosting Milwaukee.

‍

It’s all good in the 6ix though, because the Maple Leafs are hosting the Colorado Avalanche tonight in a potential Stanley Cup preview.

‍

Both teams are favoured to win their respective conference, but it’s Matthews and the Leafs with the slight edge for tonight’s game at -125.

‍

If you’re looking for a revenge play, Nazem Kadri is +250 as an anytime goalscorer against his former team.
