Sunday’s NHL Best Bets: Maple Leafs vs. Penguins

Maple Leafs vs. Penguins
Since returning from the break, the Maple Leafs have won three straight games. Their offense has been great, averaging 4.75 goals per game. This is without Auston Matthews, who hasn’t played a big part. In fact, he has just one goal in his last 13 games, including the Four Nations Face-Off.
His luck might change against the Penguins, who have been a terrible defense this season. They've been at the bottom in goals allowed all season and are currently 31st (3.59). They've had trouble with stability at the goaltending position and with Alex Nedeljkovic and Joel Blomqvist trading starts, but both are averaging over three goals allowed per game.
The Leafs should be able to hold down the Pens for the win.
Pick: Maple Leafs 60-Minute Moneyline (-120)
