The Maple Leafs had won five in a row until losing to the Penguins at home on Saturday. No shame in that. I see Toronto bouncing back today against a far inferior opponent. Toronto has lost its last two away contests. Those were against the Penguins and Bruins, though. They Maple Leafs had won their previous four road games beating the Rangers, Stars, Blackhawks and Senators.

Detroit is coming off an upset road win against the Predators on Saturday. The Red Wings are 1-4 the past five times playing without rest. They also have lost in six of their last eight home games.

Toronto has defeated Detroit in five of the past six meetings.
