The Cherry Pick: Tuesday, March 15th
Don Cherry's NHL Pick for Tuesday:
(Posted Record Here at Pointspreads.ca: 7 wins / 3 losses)
Dallas Stars at Toronto Maple Leafs:
There is no doubt that the Maple Leafs are in a deep slump right now as they ride a two-game losing streak. The Stars are 6-3-1 in their last ten games, but like Toronto, have also lost their last two games.
The big news is that Auston Matthews is out, serving the first of a two-game suspension. Dallas has not played well on the road this season, at just over .500 in the visitour role, but these games are important for the Stars to stay in the wild card race.
The Leafs are desperate to pull out of the current nosedive, as the Boston Bruins are just two points back of the Leafs. Sometimes a team will pull together when their star player is out of the lineup, and that’s what I think will happen tonight.
I am taking the Leafs to win straight up.
The Cherry Pick: Toronto Maple Leafs (1.71 on the moneyline)
