The intriguing Sunday NHL matchups continue this evening with a Panthers vs Maple Leafs game featuring two teams each on the second night of a back-to-back. Both the Panthers and Maple Leafs are no strangers to victory, with a combined 88 wins this year. They are two of the top three teams in total scoring, and have yet to play each other this season.
Let’s take a look at the NHL betting odds, trends and picks for the game and give our Panthers vs Maple Leafs prediction.
Panthers vs Maple Leafs NHL Betting Preview and Stream
NHL Regular Season
Florida Panthers (43-14-6, 17-8-6 Away) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs (40-18-5, 23-7-2 Home)
Date: Sunday, March 27, 2022
Time: 7:00 p.m. EST
Venue: Scotiabank Arena – Toronto, ON, CAN
Coverage: ESPN+
Goaltending: FLA: Spencer Knight (2.89/.906 – Expected) | TOR: Petr Mrazek (3.39/.885 – Expected)
No matter how you slice it, both teams in this Panthers vs Maple Leafs game have advantages over the other. The Panthers have the better goalie between the pipes, but they are also on the final leg of a seven-game, 15-day road trip. The Maple Leafs have one of the best home records in the NHL but are prone to poor goaltending performances.
The Maple Leafs will have to rely heavily on Petr Mrazek as they face the Panthers, who lead the league in average shots on goal, with 37. Mrazek has not exactly been a stable presence in net, allowing four or more goals in four of his last five starts.
This seems like a game where goals are likely to come early and often. The Panthers team total looks irresistible at a very affordable -120 for the over 3.5. The Panthers have gone over that number in six of their last 10 games while facing goalies better than Mrazek.

Panthers vs Maple Leafs Prediction
One of the most repeated and legendary final scores in hockey is “4-3 in OT.” At a minimum, that seems like the result we will have today. It could easily fly past the total in regulation, but at an even seven, the worst you should be looking at is a push.
Both these teams can score at a very aggressive rate. Since both teams played last night, and the Panthers might be road-weary, we are not in love with a side. We do, however, love the total. Bookmakers don’t just throw seven out there without real belief it can go over.
We are avoiding the puck line at all costs, but based on the goaltender matchup alone, we would not blame you for taking the Panthers moneyline at plus money.
Our NHL betting Panthers vs Maple Leafs prediction tonight will be Game Total o7 at BetUS.
For what it’s worth, numberFire gives the Panthers a 49.8% chance to win.
