Toronto Maple Leafs at Washington Capitals
Capital One Arena, Washington D.C.; Tuesday 6:00 p.m. ET

Puck Line: Maple Leafs -1.5

Moneyline: Maple Leafs (-170), Capitals (+143)

Total: 6.5

Best bet: Rasmus Sandin to be credited with +1 total assists (+175).

Let's take the revenge narrative here, with Sandin facing his old club for the first time since last season's trade. He's been partnered with John Carlson on the top pairing and is backing up Carlson as the second-unit quarterback on the power play, so there is ample opportunity for offense. The Leafs have also allowed the fifth-most assists to defenders this season (12).

Betting trends:

Overs are 5-1-2 in eight meetings since 2019-20 with the Maple Leafs going 5-2-1.
