I think the Leafs are going to win this series, therefore I am going to take them here in game six and if for some reason they lose in Tampa, I will back them yet again in game 7. With a plus money price here, the worst-case scenario would be to go 1-1 and break even, but I do think the Leafs have what it takes to close this series out on the road. Toronto has been sharper offensively for a majority of this series and Campbell has made the bigger saves in my opinion. Vasilevskiy only saw 25 shots in game five but surrendered four goals in the 4-3 Leaf's win, while Jack Campbell stood tall and kept his team in it with 32 saves. The Maple Leafs may not have home-ice advantage in this one, but as we have seen in games three and four, the Leafs' fans travel very well and create a Toronto-like environment on the road. I think the Leafs are going to end the Lightning dynasty on Thursday night in Amalie Arena, so give me Toronto on the money line.
