The Leafs head to Pittsburgh to take on the Penguins in Saturday night hockey action. Pittsburgh is a -127 favorite with the total line set at 6.

Toronto has been on fire since late January with a 9-1 record in its last 10 games to close its gap with Tampa Bay in the Atlantic Division to six points. The Maple Leafs’ current winning streak stands at five games and they have outscored their opponents by a combined score of 26-15 during this same span. The total has gone OVER in four of the five games. Toronto has now won four of its last five road games.

At 33-22-4 on the year, they are just three points off the pace. Pittsburgh has had its issues on the road at 11-15-3. However, Thursday’s 3-1 victory against Los Angeles as a -164 home favorite extended its winning streak at PPG Paints Arena to 10 games.
