Prediction
The Toronto Maple Leafs will defeat the Utah Hockey Club and cover the 1.5-goal spread in this game. I am taking the better offense, team, and goalie. The goalie battle is between Anthony Stolarz for Toronto and Karel Vejmelka for Utah. Solarz has a 92.1 save %, 2.33 GAA, and 13-6 record, while Vejmelka has a 91 save %, 2.48 GAA, and a 17-16 record. I expect a nice performance from the Big Four for Toronto as they snap their three-game losing streak tonight.
