The Ducks are the only team you can bet on on Friday playing with any real rest disadvantage.
Anaheim arrives in Toronto on short rest after facing the Senators in Ottawa last night, a game they lost 4-0 in a shutout.
The Leafs survived in OT against the Devils on Wednesday in what was arguably Anthony Stolarz’s best game, while Auton Matthews is starting to find his groove now since returning from injury.
On tired legs against a hungry Leafs team that will be looking to build on a quiet offensive night earlier in the week, this looks as good a spot as any to back the home side.
Huge game in the West standings, and one that could turn out to be a future playoff preview.
For now, you can back Vegas confidently knowing they’ve enjoyed a five-day break after beating Dallas 3-2 last week.
The Jets, on the other hand, have played four games over the last six days, losing to Columbus before responding with a monster 8-1 win over the Bruins.
Either way, this should be a great watch, but the value on Vegas is tough to ignore.
This is probably the game of the day, but it’s sort of an awkward one in terms of scheduling.
The Oilers hit the road for this game before returning home to Edmonton over the weekend to host Vegas and Florida, while the Wild have Philly and the Golden Knights on back-to-back nights on Sunday and Monday.
Both have enjoyed a quiet week, so with some tough games to come, the Over looks a good play.
