Since the early-season slump, Toronto's offence has been consistently productive while the Predators have had a surge in scoring as the season has progressed.

In the first half of the season, it was a struggle for the Maple Leafs to even score three goals in one game, but they have managed to turn things around in the second half. The difference in their goal-scoring production between the two halves of the season is remarkable.
Before the campaign, Toronto was anticipated to be a prolific offence, and that forecast is coming to fruition of late.
Even though their GAA stands at a suitable 2.92, the Predators' defence is unexpectedly porous. Of all teams, only six have allowed more high-danger opportunities compared to Nashville (256) this season and merely three permit more shots per game (34.2).
Goaltender Juuse Saros is able of aiding them out of difficult positions at times, yet Toronto's sizzling offence could be an excessive challenge for the Predators.
