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.
