Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:TOR +1.5 puck line★★★

A dog that keeps it close

Toronto has stayed within a goal in four of their last five, and the puck line pays you for a one-goal loss.

The number

At +1.5 a regulation loss by one still cashes; only a two-goal defeat, empty-netter included, beats it.

The decider

The nets are about even — Bobrovsky and Greaves are both stopping about nine of ten — so goaltending is not the edge here.

The context

Both clubs are losing, but they are losing differently: Columbus's games are quiet, Toronto's are track meets. This bet is really a question of which pattern holds. Toronto is putting 28.9 shots a game on net and finishing 11.2% of them.

Situational

Toronto is on the second night of a back-to-back — a notch toward the under.

What breaks this

Their last meeting went at a 6-goal pace.
