Jean-Sebastien Giguere has back-to-back shutouts since arriving in a trade from Anaheim. More importantly, Dion Phaneuf has affected the team in several ways since the Leafs acquired him in a blockbuster deal a week ago. His physicality is rubbing off on his teammates and his presence on the power play has opened up space for Phil Kessel, who has six points in his last three games. Lastly and sadly, the death of general manager Brian Burke\u2019s son Brendan proved to be a major motivator on the weekend, as the Leafs dominated the Senators in an emotional victory the day after the tragedy.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bodogaffiliate.com\/resources\/ca-banners\/sportsbook\/square\/250x250\/250x250h-sportsbook.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Sports Betting at the Sportsbook\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><br \/>\nWith all that momentum, can the Leafs topple the juggernaut San Jose Sharks? I don\u2019t think so. The Leafs certainly won\u2019t make it easy but the Sharks have two of the most notorious Leaf killers in the post-lockout era. Dany Heatley has 27 goals and 50 points in just 37 career games against Toronto. At the Air Canada Centre, he has 16 goals in 18 games. His linemate Joe Thornton has six points in his last two games against the Leafs. Expect an entertaining game but the Sharks are just too elite for the Leafs to handle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NHL Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The total has gone OVER in 6 of Toronto&#8217;s last 7 games when playing at home against San Jose<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 8 of Toronto&#8217;s last 11 games at home<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 7 of Toronto&#8217;s last 10 games when playing San Jose<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 4 of Toronto&#8217;s last 6 games<br \/>\nSan Jose is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games on the road<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 5 of San Jose&#8217;s last 5 games<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 6 of San Jose&#8217;s last 7 games when playing on the road against Toronto<br \/>\nSan Jose is 8-2 SU in its last 10 games <\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick: Sharks -150  <\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/record.bettingpartners.com\/_TcMlrmSOeQxhg6WO2I1rgWNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT BODOG.COM&#8217;S NHL HOCKEY BETTING LINES FOR TONIGHTS MATCHUPS!!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<em><strong>Shea Matthews lives and breathes sports.
