ASA NHL top play on OVER 6.5 GOALS (-110) Toronto Maple Leafs vs Columbus Blue Jackets – 7 pm ET - Perfect set-up here. The Maple Leafs are off a big divisional win over Florida and they have a road trip down to Florida on deck!  This means we are unlikely to see defensive intensity at its peak for the Leafs here.  They are in a dogfight to win the Atlantic Division as they are trying to hold off the Panthers and the Lighting and now they face both those teams down in Florida this coming week.  Toronto should have no trouble scoring goals on this struggling Blue Jackets defense (and goalie Merzlikins struggling too) but don't be surprised if Columbus is answering them goal for goal at the other end.  The Jackets already have beaten the Leafs in both meetings this season and they scored at least 5 goals in each win!  Granted they faced a different goalie in those two games then they face tonight but the confidence against Toronto is certainly there!  Also, Columbus has scored 4 goals per game in their last 6 games so their overall confidence is back up in the offensive zone.  The trouble for the Blue Jackets is that they have allowed 5 goals per game last 6 games and Toronto is sure to take advantage.  As for the Leafs, we know Stolarz has been announced as the expected starter tonight for the Maple Leafs and he has been playing well.  However, the Jackets are in a desperate situation (still alive in the Wild card race) and yet are weak defensively and in goal.  The point is that Columbus knows they have no choice but to throw everything but the kitchen sink at Stolarz.  This is going to end up a wide open game the way we see it as the Blue Jackets will be forced to be aggressive and to take risks but they are so weak in their own end that the Maple Leafs will cash in on this too in what should turn into a free-flowing affair.  Analyzing all the factors with this one we can't see either team being held below 3 goals and that would mean a 4-3 final at the very least in this one.  We actually predict that a 5-3 or 5-4 game is even more likely.  Both teams have been finding the net with regularity.  More of the same tonight.  Over is the call here!
