Carolina - Toronto (5.5 Total goals) Last proposal for tonight on NHL ice, with Toronto Maple Leafs making the trip from Canada to face Carolina Canes.
The two teams are playing good hockey last time with Canes returning home today after a long eastern trip with great results. Their last victims were the Devils and the Islanders while on the move they passed both from Ottawa and the headquarters of their current opponent with 4-1. The 6 X-Trail matches made 23 goals and received 18 with 4 wins. In total, this year they are at 7 / 4 / 1 / 0 and have just given 4 a match with active and passive close to 3 goals / innings. Significant is the addition of Semin to the team that has brought freshness to the offensive line with Russia having already picked up 10 personal points in the matches they have played. Canes are the only ones in their region at the moment.
Although Toronto believed this year would be difficult, it shows the opposite of the ice. After stomping in with Carolina, the Leafs made 4 with victories, winning 17 goals and allowing 6. The attack seems to be clicking and the players have found pace under Carlyle's guidance on the bench. Toronto's tours this year are 6 / 1 / 0 / 0, and the current match is a test at a seat where 1 has been victorious over the last five hits. The off-season is in good shape and makes 3.50 goal / defense with 2.
Some important absences will be the two teams that may affect the defensive performance of the two teams. Toronto's Reimer base and fixed goalkeeper will not play today while his backup is not as steady as Gunnarson's good defender is extremely dubious. On the Carolina side two good defenders may be missing and if they play they will not be 100% (Pitkanen, Gleason).
The two teams are in a similar situation at the moment, having been aggressively and with good psychology. Today's match will logically be judged in the details and absenteeism may be played as to the opportunities that each team will score tonight. I expect from the two tonight the ability to score in a fascinating match.
Over 5.5 total goals reg. time @ 1.85, Bwin and Gamebookers.
