Tampa Bay Lighting at Toronto Maple Leafs Preview & Picks

Tampa Bay are tipped to win as an underdog on the road.

The Lightning are off to a solid start this season and this is a rare opportunity to get them at plus-money.

  • Tampa Bay Lightning are 2-0 when facing Toronto in 2024
  • The road team has won 7 of the last 10 meetings between the teams

  • Tampa Bay Lightning won 6-4 when the two teams last met in April 2024

Tampa Bay Lighting Form

Tampa Bay have made a strong start to the season but head to Toronto looking to rebound from their first defeat.

The Lightning kicked off the campaign with a 4-1 victory in Carolina, and built on that over the next couple of games.

They returned home for a 4-1 victory over Vancouver, and then followed that up with a 4-3 victory when they hosted Vegas.

Tampa Bay’s winning start to the season was finally brought to an end on Saturday though.

The Lighting travelled to Ottawa to kick off a three-game road trip and suffered a 5-4 defeat at the hands of the Senators. 

Toronto Maple Leafs Form

Toronto go into this matchup having bounced back from an opening-day defeat by winning three of their last four games.

The Maple Leafs kicked off the 2024/25 season on the road in Montreal, and fell to a 1-0 defeat against the Canadiens.

They bounced back quickly though, heading to New Jersey to take down the Devils, 4-2, before downing Pittsburgh 4-2 in their home opener.

Toronto then made it three wins in a row by beating Los Angeles 6-2, but that win streak was ended over the weekend.

The Maple Leafs welcomed the New York Rangers to town and fell to a 4-1 defeat at the Scotiabank Arena.

Verdict

Tampa Bay are off to a solid start and the road team has had a knack for winning recent meetings.

This will be a rare chance to back the Lightning as an underdog too, so we are riding with them in this one.
