Tampa Bay Lightning - Toronto Maple Leafs: Form Analysis
Toronto come into this revenge game on the back of a five game winning streak following their 3-1 home win over San Jose on Wednesday. What is perhaps most impressive of the Maple Leafs so far this season is their stellar away form. Toronto have now won six straight games as the visitors and will fancy their chances to push the streak to seven in this game. They’ll face a formidable Tampa Bay team that won seven of their 11 outings on home ice which includes winning four of their last five outings at the Amalie Arena. The Lightning’s superb scoring record at home could play a factor here, as their 23 goals in the past five home games points to a high-scoring affair in this one.

His absence will certainly be a blow to Toronto as the 31-year-old has pitched in with five goals and four assists on the season. However, the Leafs should have more than enough firepower as the team’s potent array of attacking talent such as Matthews, Nylander, Marner and Tavares have all been in excellent form this season. Steven Stamkos leads the way for the hosts in this clash as the team’s leading scorer with 13 goals, while Nikita Kucherov has been the Lightning's top assist man with 25 in the 2022/23 campaign.
