The set-up: Toronto comes in as the "hungrier" team as it's lost four of its last five. Overall Toronto is 21-10-2, while New Jersey is 11-13-7. The Leafs average 3.5 GPG and they allow 2.8. A date vs. the lowly Devils is just what the doctor ordered to get untracked. NJ has lost six of its last eight and it averages 3.00 GPG and allows 3.5.

The pick: Take it for what you will though, but Toronto is 7-0 in its last seven when playing on two days rest, while NJ is just 1-5 in its last six home games following a three games or more losing streak. I'm laying the price and expecting a blowout.
