Point is getting 76% of his shots on net, while Stamkos sits at 30% for comparison. Give us some more goals Tuesday in a series where goaltending has been average at best. The Leafs’ top guns will be motivated while Steven Stamkos and Brayden Point also have some room to improve offensively. The Leafs aren’t getting much help from their higher-paid supporting staff but John Tavares and William Nylander had some success late in Game 4 and we hope they can carry it over into tonight. Combined, the two goalies have a save percentage of .888 through four games, and also own goals saved above expected/60 below 0.00. The winning team in each of the first four games has scored at least five goals themselves. The games have averaged 7.5 total goals, and with an goal average of 6.60 per game, these goals aren’t flukes. The Leafs have outscored the Bolts nine to seven at even strength and have won each game where they have drawn more penalties. Toronto finished as one of the least penalized teams in hockey at home during the regular and it’s tough to imagine they take another seven or eight minor penalties tonight after Game 4’s performance. If you followed the Leafs early in the season, then these inconsistencies are nothing new, but it’s still amazing that this team can look so different from game to game. There are a couple of ways you can look at the Leafs heading into Game 5. On the season, the Leafs and Lightning are a combined 40-20 to the Over on totals of 6 or greater.
