The Toronto Maple Leafs visit the Calgary Flames on Monday, October 26, with both teams looking to improve their early-season records. Toronto holds a solid 7-4 mark, while Calgary sits at 4-6. These records suggest Toronto has had a stronger start.
Looking at the betting odds, Toronto is favored on the moneyline at -162. This means a $162 bet would win $100 if Toronto takes the game. Calgary’s moneyline sits at +136, offering a decent payout for an upset. The spread is set at 1.5 goals, with Toronto -1.5 at +150 and Calgary +1.5 at -180. The -1.5 spread means Toronto must win by two or more goals for that bet to pay off. The +1.5 for Calgary gives a cushion, so a loss by one goal or a win covers that bet.
The total for goals scored is 6.5, with the over priced at -120 and the under at +100. A bet on the over requires at least seven goals combined, while the under wins with six or fewer.
Given Toronto’s better record and favorite status, they look like the safer pick. However, the +1.5 spread for Calgary offers some protection if the Flames keep it close. The total suggests a moderately high-scoring game, so consider if you expect offense or defense to dominate. The odds provide good options depending on your risk tolerance.
