The Toronto Maple Leafs welcome the Carolina Hurricanes for the second half of a back-to-back.
The pregame narrative: The Leafs lost 5-3 to the Boston Bruins on Saturday and now run it back at Scotiabank Arena with the Hurricanes on Sunday. These two teams combined for 23 goals in three meetings last season, so I'm expecting a lot of offence in this one.
Check out my Maple Leafs predictions vs. the Hurricanes for the game on Nov. 9, featuring picks for Morgan Rielly and Seth Jarvis.

Hurricanes vs. Maple Leafs predictions
Best Bet: Rielly to score 1+ points (+133)
There is too much value to pass on with this pick.
Rielly has been one of the top scoring blueliners in the league, tallying 12 points in 14 games played.
With that considered, I was surprised to see Rielly priced at plus-money to record a point on Sunday.
-> Bet on Rielly to get on the score sheet tonight!
Not only has he been productive, but he's also white-hot right now. The Leafs' defenceman is on a four-game point streak (six assists).
Much like Toronto, the Hurricanes also played last night. That means they'll turn to Frederik Anderson (.892%), who's been the worst of the two goalies for Carolina.
Finally, Rielly seems to perform well against the Hurricanes.
Key stat: In his last game vs. the Hurricanes in April 2024, Rielly had three assists. He has 11 points in his last 12 games against Carolina overall.
Best NHL prop picks
Jarvis anytime goal scorer (+140): I also wanted to find a way to fade Toronto's defence, and this looks like a strong choice.
- Jarvis leads the Hurricanes in goals (nine), expected goals (9.9) and shots (47).
- The Leafs allow the third-most goals against per game (3.7).
On top of that, Dennis Hildeby will make his first start in goal for Toronto after entering the game in relief for Anthony Stolarz on Saturday.
Hildeby is a promising young goalie, but has made just six NHL starts with a career .886 SV%.

He could be in for a tough night against one of the league's premium offences.
And that has me bullish on Jarvis as a goal scorer in this matchup.
