San Jose Sharks, leader of the Western Conference is chasing the ninth road victory in a row and they are going to visit the last-placed Toronto Maple Leafs.
San Jose is in great form, they are 8-2 in last 10 games and 8-0 in last 8 games on the road. San Jose is the second highest scoring team in the league at 3.4 goals per game and also second best in the league in power play goals with 0.9 per game. Currently, San Jose has 2 wins in a row.  San Jose Sharks bolstered their defence by acquiring Niclas Wallin in a trade with the Carolina Hurricanes and he will probably make his debut for the Sharks tonight.

Toronto Maple Leafs, signed (D) Dion Phaneuf (10G - 13A) and (LW) Frederik Sjostrom(1G - 7A) from Calgary and Anaheim goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere who had excellent start, this goaltender currently has 2-0 with 1.000% saves.(60 shots-60 saves). But some players they lost like (D) Ian White (9G - 18A), Niklas Hagman (LW) (20G-14A), (RW) Jamal Mayers (2G - 7A) all went to Calgary. Also (LW) Jason Blake (11G - 17A) went to Anaheim Ducks. Toronto doesn't show nothing special in their last matches, they are 2-7 in its last 9 games. Also must add that Toronto has the worst defence in the league allowing 3.4 goals per game. And one think not good for them that Toronto allows the most power play goals in the league with 1.0 per game.

O/U Trends:
The total goals has gone OVER in 6 of Toronto's last 7 games when playing at home against San Jose
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Toronto's last 6 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of San Jose's last 5 games

In this match, I see clear favourite and that is San Jose Sharks, they are in really good form and there is not many teams that can stop them. Toronto is struggling and I can't see that they can do something here. Also IMO is good to try over 5.5 goals, both teams are good at scoring and we will probably see an open match. GL!
