Panthers vs Maple Leafs Prediction

Based on one historically profitable NHL betting system, the Maple Leafs vs. Panthers prediction for Wednesdayโ€™s game is the Panthers Moneyline (-130).

Essentially, the theory of this system is to back experienced playoff sides away from home off a loss.ย 

Since 2006, conference road favorites that reached the playoffs the prior season are 69-38 off a loss of one to four goals.ย 

Just over the previous three seasons, those road favorites are 14-5 for a 26.3% return on investment, per Action Networkโ€™s Bet Labs.ย 

That system also sees further improvement when those teams are facing their second straight road game.ย 

Of those initial 107 teams, 46 saw that team play on the road in their last game. Those teams are 31-15 SU for a 19.4% return on investment in the next game off a loss.ย ย 

Over the last three seasons, those road favorites that played away from home in their last game are 8-1 SU under the same criterion.ย 

Given those trends, bettors should consider backing the Panthers as road favorites in Toronto on Wednesday.ย
