Leafs -.5 in regulation @ -106 to win 1 unit
This game makes 3 in 4 nights, and 4 in 6 nights for the caps, the last 2 on the road. The caps are banged up with Semin leaving the blues game early, Clark likely to be out for another game after taking the Ovechkin shot to the ear and Poti is still out injured. All 3 are big losses for the caps as it removes their top 2 right wingers and top dman. In a spot where the caps could be tired being down 3 players that would log significant minutes isn't good and worse yet the caps offense which has only been able to generate more than 3 goals once this year will be without 3 players who make an impact offensivly. Meanwhile the leafs have had a comfortable sched with a game every other day and had a day off yesterday. The leafs come into this one on a 2 game winning streak over pitt and the rangers on the road so coming back home Im looking for them to come out with confidence. The leafs have been solid vs the caps at home, going 5-2 in their last 7. Toskala also playing solidly in net during these last 2 games. No interest in the chalk as the leafs should be able to jump all over the caps in regulation and I dont like the leafs chances if they dont get it done in regulation.
