Tampa Bay Lightning Form

Tampa Bay head to Canada on a solid run of form, having now won five of their previous seven games.

The Lightning ended 2024 with a defeat and then began 2025 with back-to-back losses, before finally stopping the rot with a 3-2 win over Carolina.

They backed that up with a 4-1 victory over Boston, only to then suffer a 3-2 overtime defeat at the hands of New Jersey.

Tampa Bay bounced back to beat Pittsburgh 5-2, but they failed to wrap up that road trip with a victory as they then lost 6-2 in Boston.

The Lightning have not lost since though, following up a shootout success against Anaheim with a 5-1 win over Detroit.

Toronto Maple Leafs Form

Toronto also come into this game on the back of a couple of wins, having rebounded from a three-game skid earlier this month.

The Maple Leafs wrapped up 2024 with a 3-1 win over the New York Islanders, and that proved to be the start of a five-game win streak.

They then beat the Islanders 2-1 on the road and Boston 6-4 at home, before recording back-to-back 3-2 wins over Philadelphia.

Toronto’s run was halted by a 6-3 defeat in Carolina, and they then returned home to lose 3-0 to Vancouver and 4-1 to Dallas.

The Maple Leafs rallied at the end of the week however, beating New Jersey 4-3 in overtime at home and Montreal 7-3 on the road.

Verdict

Toronto have had Tampa Bay’s number this season and they have home advantage in this latest meeting.

The Lightning have not been great on their travels, so we are backing the Maple Leafs to make it a hat-trick of wins over the visitors.
