NJ Devils vs TOR Maple Leafs Prediction: expect a total over

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 11. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

New Jersey is playing at a high level. The Devils look extremely decent, they are fighting for leadership in the overall Eastern Conference table with Washington, having at the moment 38 points in the asset and occupying second place. The Capitals have just two more, but they have also played fewer matches. In general, Sheldon Keefe's charges are extremely impressive, but still sometimes give out sad matches. Like, for example, the game with Colorado the day before - after two consecutive victories, New Jersey managed to defeat the Avalanche with a score of 0:4.

Toronto should also be given credit for the performance in this campaign. The Maple Leafs are in fifth position in the Eastern Conference standings after 27 games, with 34 points. Craig Berube managed to set the Maple Leafs on a winning path, hence such bright results. At the same time, after a stretch where there were ten wins in 12 matches with two losses, Toronto unexpectedly lost two times in a row. First it was 1:3 with Washington, and after 2:5 with Pittsburgh.

We suggest staying away from the outcomes in the upcoming battle. So, New Jersey after the disgrace in front of their fans from Colorado (0:4) will have a huge motivation, and Toronto after two failures in a row clearly aims to win. Obviously, the Devils and Maple Leafs will fight for only two points, and the meeting is expected to be hot. At the same time, we note that in face-to-face battles, the teams now and again delight us with an abundance of pucks - in the past five times a total over (5.5) pucks, including this season. So now we suggest not to make up anything, choosing the classic total over.
