Ottawa Senators at Toronto Maple Leafs (-140, 6)

Don’t look now but the Maple Leafs, once at the bottom of the league in points, are now 7-3 over their last 10 games.

Toronto’s offense is the catalyst for the turnaround. The Buds have scored 16 goals in their last four games and the over is 5-1 in their last six.

The top line of Phil Kessel, Matt Stajan and Alexei Ponikarovsky has built some nice chemistry. The trio combined for four goals and four assists in Toronto’s 6-3 win over Washington on Saturday.

The Sens have gone 3-1 since snapping a four-game skid. Ottawa backers were ecstatic to see winger Alex Kovalev break out of his scoring slump with a hat trick against the Hurricanes. Before Saturday’s outburst, Kovalev hadn’t slipped one past goalie since Oct. 29.

Kovalev is a streaky player and if he can stay active for the next week or so, Ottawa’s offense should benefit.

Pick: Over


Los Angeles Kings at Vancouver Canucks (-180, 5.5)

If you check out the Western Conference standings you’ll see one team at the top that might shock you. The Kings a tied for the most points (45) and have the most wins (21) in the West. That’s a huge improvement for a club that had just 79 points and 34 wins a season ago.

“We don’t want to get too cocky, too ahead of ourselves,” forward Justin Williams told the L.A. Daily News. “We’re playing decent. We don’t think we’ve reach our potential.”

The Kings are coming off two narrow victories and will be playing their fourth game in six nights. Expect a letdown Monday night in Vancouver.

Pick: Canucks
