The setup: Detroit's record streak of consecutive playoff appearances is officially over as they are the lone Atlantic team to be out of contention in the East. Toronto is looking to make the playoffs for the first time in years. They are currently fourth in the Atlantic and hold the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Toronto: The Maple Leafs have won two straight. They are also 3-0 vs. the Red Wings this year. This is a strong offensive team that ranks 5th in the league in goals per game. They've been playing good hockey for awhile now going 9-2-1 the last 12 games. But it's been goaltending, not the offense, carrying them. They've allowed two goals or less in 10 of those past 12 games.

Detroit: The Red Wings have lost two straight and given up nine goals in the process. However, goalie Jimmy Howard should still give them hope. He has a .932 save percentage for the year. Most importantly, the Under is 13-3 this year when Howard starts.

The pick: With the Under being so profitable when Howard is in goal, I've gotta lean that way. Especially considering how few goals the Leafs have allowed lately. Make the Under is a 10* play
