Thursday NHL Pick

The Toronto Maple Leafs are off to an impressive start at 3-1-0-0 and have yet to lose on the road. Tonight they will try to keep the road record perfect when they travel to Little Caesers Arena to take on the struggling Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings are 0-1-1-1 and are already banged up. They are expected to be without Mike Green, Jonathan Ericsson, and Trevor Daley, and with the way the Leafs are scoring, that is not good. The Leafs are averaging 5 goals per game and Auston Matthews and John Tavares have been on a tear. Matthews has already notched 7 goals and Tavares is right behind him with 6. Toronto has had Detroit’s number, going 7-1 in their last 8 meetings, and they are 4-1 in their last 5 in Detroit.
