PREDICTION SCREEN

RAW likes San Jose Sharks +1.5 puck line.

WHY RAW LIKES IT

  • Confirmed Toronto absences: Tavares and Tanev.
  • Nylander illness creates a real lineup uncertainty against Toronto.
  • San Jose's key offensive core is available.

BIGGEST CONCERN

Toronto owns the better early at even strength quality of scoring chances.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG

  • San Jose's defense and expected-goals allowed have been poor.
  • Askarov's five-game early-season results were poor, while Bobrovsky has the stronger long-term track record.
  • Toronto's Matthews-led attack provides a concrete route to a two-plus-goal Leafs victory.

BOTTOM LINE

Confirmed Toronto absences: Tavares and Tanev. The concern: Toronto owns the better early at even strength quality of scoring chances.
