Jesper Wallstedt (Minnesota Wild) Over 23.5 Saves (-120)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Gather round, puckheads, and let's talk Jesper Wallstedt, the brick wall between the pipes for the Minnesota Wild. This kid's been on fire lately, especially on his home ice. In his last five home games, Wallstedt's been stopping an average 25.8 shots, comfortably above our over-under line of 23.5. Now, the Toronto Maple Leafs are a team that loves to pepper the net; they've been launching an average of 29.8 shots at Wallstedt each game. Given Wallstedt's two-game home hit streak and his impressive 8 out of 9 home game hit rate in the last 20, I'm liking the over on this one. Look, the Leafs might get a few past him - they're not a team that takes a night off, but Wallstedt's in form and the numbers suggest he’ll be making more than 23.5 saves come Sunday night!
Anthony Stolarz (Toronto Maple Leafs) Under 28.5 Saves (-120)

Picture this: it's March 15, 2026, and we're looking at Anthony Stolarz as he's about to guard the net on the road against the Minnesota Wild. Now, Stolarz is no slouch – he's been averaging 27 saves in his last five away games. But here's the thing, friends: the Toronto Maple Leafs' goaltender hasn't exactly been facing an onslaught. The average shots against him? A cool 30.2.
Even more telling, in his last 17 away games, he's come in under 28.5 saves more often than not - 10 times to be exact. And don't let his recent overall hit streak of one game sway you. In his last four games, he's dipped below the line three times. So, as they say in the trade, the 'Under 28.5' for Stolarz's total saves seems like a pretty solid play. Buckle up, Leafs fans
