Toronto vs Anaheim Prediction: the Ducks Can't Win Their Fifth Match

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Toronto vs Anaheim, which will take place on December 13th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Toronto has been playing really well this season. Craig Berube has got the team on a winning streak. Most importantly, the Maple Leafs are finally stable, which is something they've struggled with in recent seasons. The team has only experienced three failures in a row once, which is pretty impressive given the length of the streak. After a disappointing 1-3 loss to Washington and a 2-5 to Pittsburgh, the Maple Leafs had a great game against New Jersey. They did well on defence and managed to win 2-1 in overtime. Toronto is currently in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings with 36 points.

Anaheim is still struggling to find its rhythm, and there's been no progress so far. On top of that, the Ducks are missing some key players. Fabbri, Karlsson and Zegras – the top three – are still out. We shouldn't expect any miracles in terms of results, given that they've failed seven out of the last nine games. The Ducks are coming into this game on a losing streak, with four losses in a row, including an embarrassing 1-5 loss to Ottawa the day before. Anaheim is currently placed 14th in the Western Conference standings with 24 points.

In the upcoming meeting, we agree with the experts. We don't think Toronto will struggle here. After all, the Maple Leafs are stronger than the Ducks, they have big ambitions, and a victory over New Jersey will definitely give them confidence. Anaheim is having a rough time, and four straight losses show that. The Ducks are missing three of their top offensive players, so they don't have much to play for, even on the second day of a back-to-back. We're backing the home team to win this one.
