Montreal Canadiens – Toronto Maple Leafs Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds | NHL 10.10.2024

The Montreal Canadiens are one of the most successful teams in NHL history but they are struggling in recent years missing the playoffs in the last three seasons. The Toronto Maple Leafs, don’t the other hand, are among the top teams in the Eastern Conference when it comes to the regular season but with no significant playoff success. 

The Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs meet on 10.10.2024 in a matchup between two Canadian teams with the largest fan base. The game takes place at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebeck on Thursday morning.

Montreal Canadiens – Toronto Maple Leafs: Initial situation

Both Canadian teams come into the 2024-25 season with high hopes. The Montreal Canadiens have been near the bottom of the Eastern Conference in the last couple of years and their fans are hoping that the glory days will come back in Montreal. The Maple Leafs are in a much better situation as they have built a decent team during the years and this may be the season for them to shine.

Montreal Canadiens Stats & Form

The Montreal Canadiens finished last season second-to-last in the Eastern Conference with a 30-36-16 record, including 16-20-5 at home. They lost the last four games of the season and left only the Columbus Blue Jackets behind them in the conference standings. They continued their rebuilding mode this offseason, and it seems like this team finally gets its shape. Right-winger Patrik Laine is the key signing for the Canadiens who comes to Montreal after spending the last four seasons with the Blue Jackets. Unfortunately, Laine suffered an injury in the preseason and will not be available in the first couple of months of the season. Anyway, the Canadiens have plenty of young talent on the roster, and that many reasons to be optimistic about the upcoming season.

Toronto Maple Leafs Stats & Form

The Toronto Maple Leafs earned 102 points last season, finishing in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with a 46-26–10 record, including 24-11-6 on the road. They could have been even better if not lost the last four games on the schedule. That would change their seeding in the East, so they faced the Boston Bruins in the opening playoff round in the Eastern Conference. They went 3-1 down in the series but managed to win the next two and force a Game 7. The Maple Leafs were the first team to score in the decisive game, but the Bruins scored a pair and that was it for Toronto. They made significant roster changes in the offseason adding Chris Tanev, Anthony Stolarz, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson while TJ Brodie, Ilya Samsonov, and John Klingberg are out. With Auston Matthews still being one of the top scorers in the league, the Maple Leafs are looking better than last season.
