Toronto Maple Leafs continue their long home stretch on Saturday as the Seattle Kraken roll into Scotiabank Arena. Toronto has won two of the first three games of the homestand and is leaning on pace, volume shooting, and timely goaltending. Seattle has been competitive in every outing, but late-game leads slipping away have cost them points on this road swing.
Line Movement and Odds
Toronto opened as a solid home favorite around -200 on the moneyline, while Seattle sits in the +170 range as a road underdog. The total is 6.0, with early action leaning to the over based on both clubs creating heavy shot volume. Updated pricing can be tracked through the NHL odds page before puck drop.
Matchup Breakdown
Kraken outlook
Seattle has earned points in four straight despite back-to-back road losses in extra time. They tilt the ice early, win board battles, and limit rush chances, but closing games has been the issue. Joey Daccord continues to give them a steady baseline in net, and the top six can drive possession when they stay out of penalty trouble.
Maple Leafs outlook
Toronto is settling into home ice and getting strong goaltending from Anthony Stolarz, who bailed them out late against New York. Matthews and Nylander remain the engines offensively, and Toronto’s physical edge has shown up in hits and board battles. If the second period tilt goes the Leafs’ way, Toronto tends to control tempo the rest of the night.
Injuries and Conditions
Toronto is still without Joseph Woll and Scott Laughton, while the latest injury report also lists Marshall Rifai as unavailable. Seattle remains without Kaapo Kakko and Freddy Gaudreau, thinning out their forward depth down the middle. No travel or venue factors are expected indoors at Scotiabank Arena.
Best Bets and Prediction
Toronto has the finishing edge and better goaltending form at home. Seattle hangs around in most games, but late breakdowns have been costly. If the Leafs score first, they can dictate pace the rest of the way.
Projected score: Maple Leafs 4, Kraken 2
Best Bet: Toronto in regulation
Secondary lean: Over 6.0
