Bet: Stars Maple Leafs Over 5.5 goals (-120), Jason Robertson Over 0.5 points (-160), Mitch Marner Over 0.5 assists (-145)
We can expect a high-scoring affair in Toronto on Tuesday as these two teams have combined for eight or more goals in two straight matchups with the Leafs totalling seven or more goals in five of their last eight home games. It should also help that the Leafs will be starting goaltender Joseph Woll, who has allowed a combined 15 goals in his last four home starts.
It gives the red hot Jason Robertson a chance to continue his recent hot streak with five goals and 13 assists for 18 points in his last 14 games. He will look to overcome a troubling history in this matchup with just one point in his last five matchups versus the Leafs. In response to an expected fiery night from the Stars offence, Toronto's Mitch Marner should have a good game as he excels when playing at home plus has an excellent history in this matchup.
The 27-year-old Markham native is tied for third in the NHL in points at home with Edmonton's Connor McDavid at 35 which includes seven goals and 28 assists in just 25 games. Marner also has four goals and 16 assists for 20 points in 15 career games versus the Stars.
It'll be a tough spot for Dallas as they've been on the road for some time witH Tuesday being their last stop on their five-game road trip and could see them fatigued after playing two physical games in a row against the Habs and Senators.
