Game 22 sends the Toronto Maple Leafs into Montreal for a matchup that feels like a must-win for both sides. Toronto enters this one having dropped six of their last seven, struggling to gain ground in a tight Eastern Conference where every point creates massive movement in the standings. Montreal, meanwhile, opened the season looking unstoppable but have now slipped into a five-game skid and are searching for answers of their own. Whoever loses tonight walks away feeling the heat — and neither team can afford another step backward.Zack Phillips breaks down Toronto's patchwork lineup, including how Craig Berube may manage Easton Cowan's usage, why Max Domi at center continues to be a problem, and why removing Jacob Quillan from the lineup sends the wrong message. We go through each forward line, each defensive pair, and the pressure now falling on Joseph Woll as he starts again in a crucial rivalry game. We also examine Montreal's goaltending situation, how fragile things have become for Cayden Primeau and Samuel Montembeault, and why the Leafs need to pounce early.We wrap with tonight's Best Bet presented by bet365 — without spoiling it here — plus a look at recent betting trends, where the profits stand, and the reasoning behind tonight's targets.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

Game 20 is here as the Toronto Maple Leafs face the St. Louis Blues, and tonight feels as close to a must-win as it gets. With Auston Matthews, Brandon Carlo, Chris Tanev, Anthony Stolarz, and Nic Roy all out, the Leafs enter this matchup battered and searching for answers. Brad Treliving's quarter-season address added fuel to the fire — calling the team “too much vanilla,” refusing to trade their way out of the slump, and doubling down on Craig Berube. We break down what Treliving really meant, why the Leafs' stars like William Nylander need more urgency, and how young players like Easton Cowan and Jacob Quillan could inject life into a dead lineup.
