Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

A trip to Toronto for the Carolina Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi is promising a night of fast-paced action. The Leafs are known for their relentless offense, which brings Bussi's remarkable resilience into focus. His average of 23 saves in his last five away games shows that when the pressure mounts, Bussi doesn't crack - he thrives. Considering the Leafs' aggressive offensive style, we can reasonably predict that Bussi's saves will hover around his away game average, if not exceed it. Even with an overall average of 20.2 saves, Bussi's performance on away ice is something to behold. He's hit over 20.5 saves in 6 of his last 9 away games - a trend that's likely to continue against Toronto. So when the puck drops this Friday, keep an eye on Brandon Bussi. He's got a knack for stepping up when the game's on the line.

The Carolina Hurricanes are heading into this game with a bit of a chip on their shoulder. Despite a shaky overall record recently, their away performance is something to put some faith in. They're sporting a decent 3-2 on the road, which is a striking contrast to the Maple Leafs' 2-3 at home. And when it comes to withstanding pressure, the Hurricanes have shown resilience, taking fewer shots against and keeping their penalty minutes down. The Maple Leafs, on the other hand, have been struggling to find the net, averaging just a single goal in their last five home games. Their defensive woes are also evident with a hefty 4.4 goals against average. It might just be the perfect storm for the Hurricanes to blow away the Leafs on home ice.
